In socialized health systems, the young and middle aged with lots of years of tax paying ahead of them get pretty good care. Older folks get rationed care.

In ex DDR, the former 'Socialist Paradise of East Germany', unless classified as 'Valuable to The System', the cancer and other seriously sick patients were sent back home with a (free) bottle of aspirins for 'treatment'.

The military, however, had their own superior health care systems including their own hospitals.
