If you dare bring this up people start screaming psychotically about "OMG GOVERNMENT RATIONING!!!" and "DEATH PANELS RUN BY GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS!!!".
Of course, other countries with universal care seem to have little to no difficulty with this. They also get much better results from their systems at dramatically less cost.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
