I upvoted you even though I disagree (downvoting is only for meaningless stuff). However, I think you are not getting a lot of love from the crowd because you are just complaining about how bad socialized medicine could be. But you are not offering a better solution that what we have today which clearly is pretty bad. The day we are not scared of medical bills or going to the doctor is the day I would consider that we have got something right about healthcare.
