One of the unmentioned or seldom mentioned attributes of socialized medicine in the US is the component that if US health care becomes socialized and further limited down the line either in actuality or if the comparison either in cost or absolute comparison leads to a decline in customer service levels then a major option and stop gap to those waiting in line in other countries , those who do not want to wait or those who wish a higher caliber of medical service at home – and are willing to pay or sacrifice to pay – becomes less if not available.
In socialized medicine what happens over time is that the system responds to itself , not to the ultimate customer. The doctor , who was previously the head of the team , on in previous – pre team work times – was the absolute power and arbitrage. Not so in socialized medicine. The doctor answers to the clinic that employs him or her , or to bureaucrats not to the consumer. On top of that it is not as if the medical consumer has a choice. Imagine a medtravel tourist complaining in writing to an address . The bureaucrat /s could care less. Their concern is their budget , their charts and graphs. On top of that their biggest responsibility is not to get their boss or themselves in trouble or draw attention to themselves.If a letter or email arrives – so what . That person lives far away. they cannot even vote or complain to the health minister or political party leaders – who cares. Its a matter for the medical bureaucratic system to put in time for its pension , go to lunch go home at 3:30 – stop the work on the graphs and charts at 2:30 p.m. Thats about it. On top of that to pretend and actually believe in their mind and heart of hearts that the world and especially the medical system functioning is dependent on them and their unique and powerful administrative skills.
After all the less resources available in the end after pilfering the medical system of funds , the more the need for more administration to parcel out those limited resources in the medical and healthcare systems.
