Let's assume that government provides health care . Are doctors independent or government employees ? Who decides how many doctors there can be ? If I choose to see a doctor every day just because I'm lonely , who pays for it ? Or who stops it ? What if I really am sick ?
My friend wants a penis: who decides if he can have it ?
Who decides ? In many countries with universal health care , citizens cannot choose to get health care outside the system . How free is that ? If health care is free , that means whole blood is free . Will we continue to have voluntary blood donations ? Or will there be an IBSS (Internal Blood Sucking Service) that will take 10% or your blood every month for the blood bank ? Will there be a progressive blood taking system wherein the healthiest people will be required to give more blood ? A higher percentage that is . Is abortion on demand universally available ? Since under universal health care all must pay for the health care of anyone who needs it - will there be healthy life-style standards that each person must meet ? No greasy burgers , no cigarettes , a medium size glass of wine each day , 30 minutes of aerobics ?
Anyway it is my opinion that Universal health care would make us less free by limiting our freedoms .
Anyone agree ?
