Health care is dispensed with varying degrees of discrimination. Our convoluted, quasi market for insurance and care entails discrimination based on price. Others systems discriminate on the basis of age. Wouldn’t it be effective to argue against the coming effort to nationalize the industry by drawing attention to this fact that universal care is an illusion.
