How effective would socialized medicine be in a capitalistic society?

Question

What would be the overall implications?

Are there any worthwhile models world wide?

Answer 1

Naturally it will be great. The best system is the system that incorporate the right things to do, not on the views of the bias and arrogance in the outdated republican population.  

Answer 2

Currently the US Health Care system is a mixture of socialized medicine and capitalist health care systems.

The socialized medicne programs, VA health Care, Military Health Care, Medicare, Medicaid, all suffer from poor service and intolerable costs.

Organizing them together into a single system would save money, but, it can't happen.

Answer 3

It would cause mass chaos in America and actually lower the standard of living of most Americans.  The costs would be astronomical and in order to save costs, the government would have to pick and choose which people received operations and lived.

It's basically failure all over the world.  Why do you think Canadians come to America for health care?
