	Socialized Medicine in a Wealthy Country by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
		The second view of socialized medicine sees the problems with socialism, that it leads to building up a state apparatus that has life-and-death control over the population.
		But the opponents of health-care socialism also have in their minds a vision of what life would be like under socialism.
		And yet socialism itself had been systematically driving these countries back to feudal-era forms of health care that were increasingly deprived of modern technology.

	The Lonely Canadian: A Brief Look At Socialized Medicine
		If a socialized single-payer system were to be implemented in the U.S., it could provide the same significant cost reductions and increases in access that socialized plans have produced elsewhere.
		The legitimacy of the proposal for a socialized healthcare plan in the U.S. is verified by the success of modern attempts at systems of socialized medicine in the country.
		Despite some degree of openness to the idea of socialized healthcare, many people display a strong negative reaction to the policy name due to an ingrained rejection of anything apparently linked to “socialism.” A socialized model of healthcare, however, does not demand giving up personal freedoms and turning to a communist form of government.

		Socialized medicine is advocated as the means of making medical care free or almost free, thereby enabling even the very poorest people to afford all of it that they need.
		Now all one need do to understand why socialized medicine leads to the prohibition of private medicine is simply to hold in mind the combination of deteriorating medical treatment and controlled physician incomes under socialized medicine and ask what would happen if an escape from this nightmare exists in the form of private medicine.
		Socialized medicine destroys the quality of medical care and dare not allow the competition of private medical care.

	Universal Health Coverage --- Call It Socialized Medicine
		Indeed, "universal coverage," nationalized health care, or socialized medicine, regardless of what you choose to call it, is not the same as medical care.
		I find it very sad in a country where men and women have died fighting to preserve our freedom and have died fighting off socialism and communism that some are now considering socialized medicine as a solution to improving access to health care.
		Lenin once said that "medicine is the keystone in the arch of socialism,'' and I believe those who are promoting "universal coverage" via government-run and government-controlled medicine know this.

	TCS Daily - Is Socialized Medicine the Answer?
		Premium medicine often falls in a gray area that is in between unnecessary health care and acute care.
		However, they make an unproven case that, in their words, "honest-to-God socialized medicine" would be so efficient that it would make premium medicine affordable, at least until technology and medical know-how expands even further.
		Krugman and Wells believe that the efficiency of socialized medicine is a sure thing, and that health care rationing is a far-off possibility.

	EconLog, Socialized Medicine, Arnold Kling: Library of Economics and Liberty
		If US politicians could be persuaded of the advantages of a public health insurance system, the next step would be to convince them of the virtues, in at least some cases, of honest-to-God socialized medicine, in which government employees provide the care as well as the money.
		So, the argument is whether socialised medicine is better than the "system" we have now, which is not a free market system, but some other contraption for which there is no easy label.
		I think the difference should be kept in mind between a single payer system, like Canada's and many other high income countries, and a full blown socialized medicine system as in the UK where the medical personnel are all employees of the state.

	Socialized Medicine and National Health Care (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The history of government medicine in the United States illustrates a time-tested technique of government bureaucrats: impose so many regulations that it is nearly impossible to provide services; then accuse the providers of inefficiency; then assert that the government must take control of the entire industry to "fix" the problems.
		In medicine, "reformers" cry for change in health-care delivery in the United States, the government poises to seize final control of doctors and patients after piling layer upon layer of crippling regulations during 25 years of Medicare and Medicaid, and doctors and patients stand by in utter confusion and dismay.
		They say medicine is a "right." That means a doctor's labor belongs to others, regardless of the doctor's wishes, and the state must decide how to distribute this societal pool of services and talents.
