The issue is the kind of healthcare we *can* provide is very expensive and resource intensive, and there are simply too many people who need it.

So how do you decide who gets the lifesaving premium treatment and who doesn't?

Universal healthcare will always provide a base level of service, it can't provide the best service to everyone because it's just not possible. The more you add to it, the more expensive and unsustainable it becomes. The less it offers, the more people don't like it. Places that try to make it *the only choice* are completely on the wrong path because of this.

It's a hard one to get right, but I think there does need to be a base level of healthcare available to everyone. People just need to understand that it won't be the best and money will always still play a part in determining who gets access to what.
