Is this just sarcasm? Rage bait? Are you out of touch? Poor people already ration care. I experienced it first hand working in a grocery store. God forbid you got hurt or sick because you'd be losing work days aka income. Then you'd be eating less or borrowing money or skipping a few medications. But, sure, socialism in healthcare * like every other developed economy* will stifle innovation.

U.S. healthcare underperforms in most verticals. High cost is the primary reason that prevents Americans from accessing health care services. Americans with below-average incomes are much more affected, since visiting a physician when sick, getting a recommended test, or follow-up care has become unaffordable. https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2...
