The number one area in which I differ from the fans of Socialized Medicine is that I choose to see beyond the short term to the unavoidable long term effects. It took complete failure of the economy for Britain to divest itself of many of its socialized industries. It also took tremendous political courage. Miners and others who wanted nannystatism instead of responsibility for doing their jobs protested all over the country. It will take many more examples of the Socialized Medical system making clear they don't appreciate a person sentenced to death by them questioning their authority to before the political capital to restore responsibility is built. "Have you ever spent any time in a country with socialized medicine?' Yes.
