Socialized medicine is a ghastly scam used to win socialist/Dem votes, everywhere it's been tried

If you were paying attention before the midterms (spoiler: you obviously weren't) you may recall that Democrats promised that if they were elected, they'd pass “Medicare for all.”

And apparently stupid, gullible Dem voters thought this was a good idea.  So the push by Dem leaders for "Medicare for all" worked--in the sense that that promise won Democrats control of both chambers of congress [spit] and many state legislatures and governorships.  It almost ensures them the presidency in two years. 

Of course "Medicare for all" is a pretty, soothing euphemism for...what?  For government controlling ALL medical "care."

Stupid Democrat: "WAIT, deplorable!  Dat not bad at ALL, cuz Medicare takes care of all Americans over 65 or so, and works perfekly [sic]!  So what makes yew think dat just expanding Medicare to cover the "care" of every person in the U.S. from birth to death could possibly be a problem, eh?  Stupid deplorable!"

Glad you asked (you dumb sonofabitch).  What almost no Americans realize is that MANY other countries have government-run "medical care."  And not just impoverished commie shitholes like Cuba, but once-advanced nations like the UK and Canuckistan. 

Dumb Democrat voter: "Why yew claim dat bad, deplorable?  Dat akshully reeally guuuud, cuz ebrybuddy gets free medical, right?"

Oh you bet, sparky.  It's a faaabulous theory!  So how well does it work in practice?

Amusingly, we don't have to guess:  In the U.S, if you have a medical emergency you can get an MRI in an hour, even on a holiday weekend.  By contrast, in Canuckistan [obviously Canada] and the shithole formerly known as "Great Britain," patients with medical emergencies often have to wait six months for an MRI.  And that's after a doctor has said "I can feel a big lump in yew dat shouldn't be there, so we need an MRI to find out what we need to do."  But yew gotta wait six months.

Patients with broken arms have had to wait three months to get the arm set.  Seriously.

Most Americans almost certainly don't believe that, because it sounds impossible.  But it's true.

And that's what Democrat "leaders" are absolutely determined to bring here.  But not for them, of course.  Just for you.

In a free-market system, health-insurance companies have armies of investigators and lawyers to help catch fraud due to false claims.  It's built-in to the job of trying to make a profit.  But gummint doesn't have that.  Trump tried to get it, with DOGE, but the Left/socialists/Democrats screamed bloody murder, and the Dem-fellating Mainstream Media played up every sob-story by fired leech "workers," and corrupt leftist judges overturned almost every effective effort.

But that's only the tip of the iceberg: When gummint runs ALL health "care," you get long wait times for costly procedures--like MRIs.  In a free market, insurers know they can be sued if they deny needed procedures, but you aren't allowed to sue gummint without it consenting to be sued.  And under socialized medicine, no one can sue the National Health "Service."

[More precisely: you CAN sue, but it'll be thrown out of court unless the gumming consents to being sued.  And with National Health, they never consent.]

So in UK hospitals, patients are often lined up on gurneys in hallways waiting for a room.

Stupid Dem voter: "Dat jus' a scare story!  Nevah happened!  An' even if it did, dat cud nevah happen here, cuz pipo wudn't put up wif it!"

Really, Sparky?  Of course they would, cuz when gummint runs all "health care" that's the only way you can get ANY "care."

Here's a recent example of the wonders of government-run medical "care" in the U.K:  A woman was seven months pregnant when she had a life-threatening condition that sent her to the hospital.  After she was discharged, she came back complaining of awful cramps ("pre-eclampsia").   in her womb--reasons unknown. 

Staff told her her daughter had died in the womb--but instead of delivering the dead fetus, the hospital sent her home and told her to call to get an appointment for that procedure.

I suspect that strikes most American women as insane.  Cruel, stupid.  Yes, certainly.  And in a free-market system (ours, at least for now) any hospital that tried this shit would be sued for a million or so, on grounds of "intentional infliction of mental anguish" or some such.  But this kind of stupidity and cruelty is totally normal for gummint-run "health care."

The only reason you don't know this is that you get all your info from the Democrat-fellating Mainstream Media--which refuses to tell ya, cuz they support every bullshit policy the Dems propose, eh?

So first: Dems bleat that "Medicare for all" is "free."  But of course that's horseshit:  But as anyone with a functioning brain should instantly realize, the cost is paid by tax dollars, eh? And that HUGE added cost--trillions--can't be covered without raising taxes, eh?  So if you pay taxes, it's not free at all.  But of course half of all voters--Democrats--don't pay any income tax.  So they're totally fine wif yew payin' fo' dere "health-care."

So... Dems can only cover the actual cost of this supposedly-free service by raising taxes--massively.  But that would lose 'em votes, so they're unlikely to do that.  So what will the Dem brain-trust "leaders" do to pay for the supposedly-"free" health-care for everyone, eh?

They'll simply borrow more money.  But they'll refuse to tell voters, and that gets us to bankruptcy sooner.  Dem leaders surely know this, but don't care--cuz they plan to be retired with a lavish pension by the time the shit hits the fan.

Democrat "leader:" "Hahahahaha!  Dat jus' a 'right-wing scare story,' deplorables!  

Yeah, no.  It's a hard-wired math outcome--like a law of nature.  Of course Dems don't believe any outcome forecast by math, cuz "maff beez raaaaaacis'!"  (That was an actual, literal declaration by Dems who run the Seattle public skool system about ten years ago.)

Democrat voters are too fucking stupid to breathe without assistance.  Dem leaders aren't totally stupid, but are totally corrupt, and would cheerfully sell their own mothers into slavery to be elected.  You just don't see it.

So if you pay taxes, "free" government-run healthcare isn't remotely free.  But if you're a low-income voter (as most Dem voters are) it's free to YOU, which is all that matters to voters, eh? 

Now, wanna see the future?  Actually you don't, but someone needs to tell you.  It's absolutely assured--"set in concrete."  Using their huge majorities in congress [spit], next year Dems will pass a "Medicare for all" bill--government to run ALL health-care, knowing Trump will veto it--which he will, assuring Democrats will win the presidency in two years.

The Dems will then re-introduce the exact same bill, and the new Dem prezzy will proudly sign it into law--whereupon the U.S. will have gummint-run "health care."  Meaning health "care" exactly like the U.K. and Canuckistan and all the other shitholes.

And 30 years from now people won't believe there was ever a time--under the old free-market, non-socialist system--when you could walk into an ER and get an MRI in less than an hour.

And Dems will smirk "Dat jus' a 'right-wing lie!  Dat nevah happened!  Befo' we passed 'Medicare fo' all,' po' Americans cudn't get any health care !" 

Of course that's a brazen lie--but the Media will never call 'em out on it.
