There's a saying in economics that goes: A parrot can learn economics. Just teach him to say "supply and demand." And that's about extent of the average person's understanding.<br> <br> Econ 101 tells us that, ceteris paribus, as the price of something goes down, demand goes up. So when healthcare becomes "free," the demand goes through the roof, and so does the cost. The government can only take in so much in taxes, so at some point care must be rationed. Rationing comes in many forms. Long waits, denied services, etc. If you don't pay in $$, you will pay in long waits, poor service, and, in some cases, with your life. <br> Bottom line: TANSTAAFL, there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Learn that, and you've taken your first step in understanding how economies work.
