Once the health care system is totally government-controlled (it’s now a hybrid), the decisions made to grant or deny care will be political. You get denied treatment, you camp out on your congressman’s steps.

Local hospitals and doctors will become political players as well. I can see medical tourism that hurts your local hospital being made illegal.

She would have to see how this pans out before pulling the trigger obviously. Do you think the government could literally forbid out-of-country procedures?
