The current US system is also highly rationed. The rich have access to

I love comments like this.

Unreal.


Being able to access health care only at the emergency room of certain
hospitals constitutes very limited access. I can't imagine why my
comment about the poor is unreasonable.


Poor example Chuck. The very best cars are rationed. The very best food
is rationed. I could go on and on.

You are a person of substantial means, Tom. I hope you have access to
the best available care.


Chuck, I can't afford to buy the $495,000 Mercedes I saw at the auto
show last week. Can you spare a couple of hundred thousand?

Neither portion of the statement is unreal, so how can the total
statement be unreal?


How much of your time and money do you donate to provided the
underfunded "access" to health care?
