"put charity in the hands of the government rather than the insurance companies?

I have been rather fond of the concept of private charity. I think it would be a shame for society to lose it."

Few people would prefer to give government the power to restrict their access to medical care.

Considering the capriciousness of many bureaucrats it would result in many imbalances in medical care with politically connected replacing those with money as the favored class and conservatives and other hated groups replacing those who choose not to work as the ones excluded from life saving medical procedures.
