So you want to trust your health care to the government...

Yet another example of big-government's efficiency:
Aircraft sat as California wildfires took hold
As wildfires were charging across Southern California, nearly two dozen water-dropping helicopters and two massive cargo planes sat idly by, grounded by government rules and bureaucracy.
Yup.

I have friend who grew up In Canada where they have socialized medicine. His father was in his 80 but one of the most active seniors I have ever met.
His dad got sick and he had to wait a few weeks to see a doctor. He was having liver failure. If he was in the US he could have had a liver transplant...but in Canada where there is a shortage of doctors and medical facilities--they told him they couldn't help him and they let him die...thats Hillary care for you

YWL, And all socialized medicine systems have age limits for transplants. In some countries, age 59.

I'm sorry to disagree...about the planes. 100 mile-per-hour winds and lack of spotters for the craft caused them to be grounded.

Dropping water or retardant just trying to fly when cross winds are blowing at that speed would have been wasteful of both men and material.

As for nationalized healthcare, God save us!
