> They keep their costs down by rationing coverage with wait-lists. I know a few people from the UK where their family members lived in daily pain and had to wait YEARS for their number to be called. They also limit the availability to the best medications and procedures to keep costs down. Also the quality is also quite poor, hundreds of people in the UK have died of dehydration in the hospital because the staff forgot to give them water.

So we don't have these problems in the U.S. under the current "free market" system?

Before you answer, I already know that the answer is "yes we do".
