They call their systems where the government controls the  healthcare system and therefore controls the people’s medical care, "Single Payer" systems.

Government-controlled Healthcare (Single Payer)

CLAIM: Government control will reduce inefficiency

FACT: This is deceptive advertising. Government healthcare costs you nothing, that is, nothing directly out-of-pocket. It costs you more than you can afford or want to spend through increased direct and indirect taxes. The Canadian Province of Alberta spends over 40% of all its tax dollars on its healthcare system!

CLAIM: Government healthcare will provide better care

FACT:  How does medical rationing produce “better care”? Government healthcare systems use rationing to reduce spending. They simply deny us the expensive treatments that we need. Obamacare is scheduled to do the same thing — ration care — through its IPAB (Independent Payment Advisory Board).
