>>I with Obamacare this has dramatically ramped up and now there are boards to decide who gets what care based on cost measures, rather than medical need. It would help if actually knew what you were talking about. There are no "boards." There is the IPAB which makes cuts to medicare if congress can't. I'm sure you are in favor of reducing this "socialized medicine" so your stated basis of opposition is nonsensical. Maybe you would prefer instead a "board" made up of people elected across the US that will make cuts to medicare instead. It's called Congress and maybe you should learn about it as I hear it has existed for a long time. >>Command economies don't work, and the change in health care over the last century has been a centralization in control. >>Whenever someone talks about the need for socialized medicine because "otherwise people would go bankrupt", remember it is the socialization of medicine that caused costs to rise to the point where people would go bankrupt. Milton Friedman also said that single payer system have many advantages over the system we have right now.[1] It isn't centralization of control its a broken system that has never had any reform whatsoever.
