"Health care rationing is common all over the world, except here. "

Prove it.

"Whether it is the Brits saying they won't allow the best chemo drugs to be used"

You always come back to Britain and Canada. Probably because those are the only places it occurs.

"the waiting times to see physicians in many, many countries,"

Prove it. I know for a fact that in New Zealand you make an appointment and can see a doctor the same day. Just to take one example.

"Or the lack of lab and imaging facilities in almost every country having socialized care."

Prove it. For example, Japan has a lot more imaging equipment per capita than we do.

"and secondly that there is, effectively, rationing, because they've created an environment where would be physicians do something else, resulting in a per-capita shortage of physicians WRT the US"

And yet the average wait time for medical care is shorter in Germany than the US...

"Not one thing in your post was factual."

Actually, those are your posts.
