How is this different from what happens in America with private insurance agencies? People are denied coverage based on 'pre-existing conditions' even if those conditions are increadibly minor. As for the 'two tier' system, that is still here in America. Some people are unable to afford basic health services while others who are exceptionaly elderly are given extravagent drugs and surgeries in an attempt to extend their life another month.
I realize the movie has some biases, but have you seen Michael Moores movie Sicko? It is sort of an 'equal opportunity destroyer', both republicans and democrats are criticized.
If we rely on Humes Fork, just because something happened one way in the past does not mean it will happen the same way in the future. Besides, the new health care system isn't even following the soviet model. Its sort of a hybridized monstrosity that satisfies no one but is better than what we had.
EDIT: I have to wonder, do most people in the US even know the differences between socializing, Communism, and the USSR style communism? The way they use the words I have to think not.
