BTW this socialized medicine stuff is eerily similar to what the housing-first and "harm reduction" people say with respect to homeless drug addicts: They just need free housing. Housing is a human right.

You know what you get when you take a drug addict off the street and give them a nice apartment? A drug addict who destroys a nice apartment and winds up either out on the streets again or dead.

Same thing with your socialized medicine. Take some guy that's never exercised a day in his life and eats donuts for dinner and give him free health care. He either strokes out or drops dead from an MI at the exact same rate than before he had single-payer insurance.

Neither thing the advocates advocate for address the root causes.
