You have to realize what your promoting is a minimalist healthcare system when many of these developed countries with subsidized basic healthcare want their citizens to ration the service in comparison to one of the biggest consumers of healthcare service like the United States ...
Basic healthcare is ideal for general populace but it's extremely sub-par at treating expensive rare medical conditions ...
Are we supposed to trust that our healthcare system will reliably take care of those who are in terminal illness or in rare conditions as much as possible ? What am I going to do if someone close to me needed a stem cell transplant, organ transplant surgeons, to treat rare forms of cancer, a life saving drug or a treatment that my country has yet approve ?
