1- The government through a public health care system funded by taxpayers, or
2- A private for profit insurance company that can deny you medical care because they have to answer to stock holders.
In both systems everybody pays for health care.
@"Obama The Sell Out", I am not aware of any governments that have public health care that ration it. I do however know of many cases where care has been denied by private insurance companies in the US because it wasn't profitable for them.
@FLbeachGr, in Canada the government will even pay for a sex change procedure if it is prescribed by a doctor of psychology.
@ Jason Jackson, I have never sat in a waiting room in Canada for more than three hours let alone 17. Last summer I went in on a Saturday for an allergic reaction and was seen within an hour. It usually averages two hours in the only hospital in a town of 80,000.
@?SinDelle Morte?, procedures unavailable in their country and long waiting times are not the same as rationing.
@ Potty Mouth, Oh but you do pay for health care, or lack of someone not getting it. If a person who is denied coverage by their insurance can't work, you pay for their welfare.
