This is an excellent point, one ignored by anybody advocating for any of this.  Let's take Japan, as an example.  They have health care for all.  They also have a system where if you have cancer with a low percentage of success in curing, you get a kiss on the forehead and you go home to die.  Dental care is another basket of insanity over there.  And, yes, I know.  I have lived there and work with Japanese companies all the time.

Of course, our system would never work that way.  Only the best of palliative care, regardless of condition!  That won't work, and is unsustainable.  You want BASIC health care for all, that could only work if it is limited.  Want something better, get yourself into a position to have health care provided as part of your compensation.  Its not that hard, despite what everybody wants to say about how horrible america is, particularly now with millions of jobs unfilled, all of which provide health insurance, because people won't show up sober for more than a few days in a row.

Japan set rates, which is slightly different than healthcare for all. [/quote]
