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.
