OT -- There is no question that some rationing of health care takes place in government run systems to keep costs under control. Otherwise, health costs can absorb 100% of GDP.

But the end result in countries with national health care systems is not bad, judging by their health statistics -- a two year higher life expectancy is huge, no matter how much one wants to rationalize. I agree that there are plenty of bad anecdotes both in their and our system.

Ultimately, the key problem in the US is the way we fund elections -- essentially a system that allows bribery by special interests. So, problems caused by special interests are not solved until they become major crises. Health care is approaching this stage.
