     One of the things that many foreigners, as well as some Americans, belittle the United States about is that there is no \u201cfree\u201d socialized healthcare that the people have an explicit \u201cguarantee\u201d to, and further belittle the idea that ultimately we should expect people to be responsible for taking care of themselves.<\/p>\n

     Such people seem to assume that if the government says<\/em> the people will receive \u201chealthcare\u201d for \u201cfree\u201d, that people will get all the treatment they need in a timely manner, and that people in the United States without insurance are left to either die to go bankrupt.<\/p>\n

     The latest outrage is shock, shock<\/em> I tell you, in stating the basic fact that mere demand will not spontaneously generate needed supply right this very second, and that hypothetically maybe we won\u2019t have all the necessary medical equipment to treat everyone who needs it when they need it in all cases.<\/p>\n
