ohh don't you know in countries with socialized medicine they have long wait times to see a doctor?

I can't see a doctor anyway so just let me have socialized medicine

    Like I used to tell people back during the healthcare debates: if you think there aren't wait lists or rationing in the US healthcare system then you've never had a family member with a chronic illness.

    The cruelest joke/irony is that litterally every problem right wingers complain about in socialized medicine also exists in for profit healthcare.

      When it's somehow worse than projection. Like they wouldn't dare accuse a country with socialized medicine of the twisted shit the for profit system does to patients because people would catch on. They settle for things like waiting lists.

      or they act like since there's such a thing as multi-millionaire/billionaire serving concierge doctors that you just have to git good and grind harder at capitalism to skip the line forever
