"You refuse to acknowledge that universal health care coverage has been successfully implemented in more than 15 advanced nations in the western world. "

We acknowledge that they are failures, you seem unwilling to do this. Canada would quickly fall apart if they could not rely on the US at times when their systemic underfunding becomes problematic. England is experiencing horrible failures and nurturing terrorists because of the low pay. You have yet to point out one Socialized Medical system that is not failing.

"Universal coverage means everyone is covered. We would then not need to make any subjective judgments."

As many people have repeatedly pointed out to you, the ability to afford socialized medicine relies upon cutting services to patients and pay for providers. This ultimately leaves government bureaucrats in the position of making subjective judgements that cut short peoples' lives.
