Think rationing.

Yes ... rationing ... exactly as Americans do today ... only in the
USA it's rationed by access to money, instead of based on real need
... so, as a nation, Americans spend far more than any other country
and yet still manage to achieve worse results overall in terms of
health care than many other industrialised nations.


In the US it's rationed by insurance companies isn't it? to keep profits up.
