Free healthcare will never survive one fact: The fact that scarcity exists.

The fact that healthcare are so expensive in America are numerous. The limited supply of doctors due to medical cartels, patents on drugs, overusage of the system by medicaid users, insurance companies being used for paying everyday medical cost, and more.

But in Canada and other places where social medicine or universial health care exists, there has been rationing of improtant services. It is also where capital structures simply rot.

I believe wealthy nations' medical system are going to crash and burn decades from now because government deemed healthcare too improtant to regulate or control, never mind the consquences of unintended effects from regulations.

The only solution is to return control of the healthcare to individuals, which are embodied in a free market. Only individuals have any chance to find a solution where centralized regulatory power and decision makers fails miserably.
