The US military is the epitome of socialized medicine. I used it for 4 years and it wasn’t that bad.

Thank you. I used it too in Canada. It wasn’t perfect but it was way better than whatever you call this system America has right now.

I’ve often felt a hybrid system might be possible. One in which the government covers certain basic health care costs (annual physical, annual dental check up, eye exam every 2 years, up to $X in prescription costs and so forth) in full, others are split between government/private insurance and some (mainly elective and vanity procedures) remain entirely private.
