A Glimpse at the Universal Health Care Socialist Utopia

This country won't just jump into universal health care overnight. Like every other erosion of liberty, it requires a piecemeal approach to alleviate suspicion. That includes things like price-fixing, controlling the dispensing of drugs, telling doctors who they can and can't treat, which insurance plans they must accept, and so on. The result, of course, is an overall drop in the quality of care. Expect to see more stories like this in the near future:

The wait to see primary care doctors in Massachusetts has grown to as long as 100 days, while the number of practices accepting new patients has dipped in the past four years, with care the scarcest in some rural areas.

Now, as the state's health insurance mandate threatens to make a chronic doctor shortage worse, the Legislature has approved an unprecedented set of financial incentives for young physicians, and other programs to attract primary care doctors. But healthcare leaders fear the new measures will take several years to ease the shortage.

Those who support universal health care want everyone to be treated equally. So, when everyone is suffering because of their idiotic policies, they will know they have succeeded.
