Here is yet another example.   Again, in a private, pay-for-service health system, a patient is a valued customer, and healing and survivability rates are valued reputation coveted by hospitals.



But under a socialized system, where the government is the customer, and patients are merely bothersome 'problems' to be dealt with, the view of them is very different.


Neonatal care is very expensive, and takes a lot of time.   In a government system, limited by dwindling government coffers, an expensive patient that takes up a lot of space for a lot of time, is a drain to the system.



Doctors call premature babies ‘bed blockers’


Yet again, this is how socialized systems work.   When you are not the customer, when you are not paying their bills... then you are just a problem.
