Every health care system must ration care. There are not enough doctors, nurses, drugs, equipment, money, etc. in order to provide everyone with the best possible care in every situation. The question becomes how to best ration care. What is the most equitable way of providing health care to the populace? I submit that the U.S. has one of the worst methods of rationing health care. It is also the most expensive in terms of cost as a percent of GDP. What has been labeled "Obamacare" in the United States was, for the most part, insurance reform. It will turn a very bad system into a bad system. Going to prison, despite popular belief, is not a way to get good health care. The idea that prisoners watch cable TV, have great health care, and are well fed in the U.S. is mostly myth. The strategy of robbing a bank to get health care is not a good one.
