This "rationing" meme is really annoying. Nobody is going to ration health care. They'll ration healthcare just like ration the fire department. The fire department, may, at times, have more than one fire to respond to, but we set it up with enough to handle 99.9% of all urgent cases. The way we ration is by not responding to every trivial case, like every cat up in a tree.

All the money that America spends extra doesn't buy us better healthcare. It buys us urgent access to non-urgent care. Everywhere else in the industrialized world everybody gets their urgent care when they need it.
