is any point at all in seeking a solution, it is necessary to define
the problem (the more clearly and the more specifically, the better).
I don't minimize the difficulty of doing this - asking a good
question is _tough_.
_If_, however, the problem related to health care for which a
solution is desired is as specified in the question I set out earlier
in this thread then there is no solution.

I recognize that there is no good solution. Can we find a good compromise?
My quip was directed to the point that every time health care is
provided to all, it quickly degenerates into rationed services. With
the increased interactions, globally and regionally, it is getting
harder to ration services. In a way, it is very democratic, everybody
gets the same care. (Yes, I know, the wealthy have the means to "opt
out".) The interesting thing about Canada is the attempt to keep the
middle class from "opting out" with extra insurance.
It is the same story every time. Whenever government builds a "safety
net" to keep anyone from failing, it builds a barrier to keep anyone
from excelling. And there is no good solution.
