- pjc50 9y ago> That money came out of someone else's pocket! This is also true of insurance systems. Nobody's pretending that socialised systems magic healthcare out of thin air, it's more a question of total resources spent by society and distribution of outcomes - including whether certain people get rationed out of the system because they can't afford it.
