You haven't a clue. There are so many excellent experienced physicians that have been driven out of not only private practice, but from practicing the art period from just the start of your socialized ideal........that monster called obamacare. Thousands upon thousands of rural Americans were forced to travel sometimes a hundred miles or more or do without because the small practices and clinics they used were forced to close because they couldn't afford to comply with asinine obamacare requirements. My wife is an insurance biller with clients in several different medical fields and I can tell you with assurance that you are talking out of your backside on this one.
And Europe is not socialist? 
First your last sentence. A lot of European countries are what’s called “social democracy†states and not true socialist states. They tend to have very generous welfare programs and they’re going to find more and more that it’s going to be expensive for them also in the future. Sweden tried true socialism in the 1970s and it predictably failed
But the rest of what you said has a lot of truth to it. I know from experience. Let’s use the proposed Medicare for all as an example since there’s at least a bill floating around that we can chew on. A lot of doctors are reluctant to see both Medicaid and all Medicare patients. I asked our medical director this a few years ago and they said the reason why they’re more likely to see Medicare patients is because many Medicare patients also have private insurance. Medicare for all would dump that and pay doctors and hospitals the current Medicare rate. Well, human nature being predictable, what kind of incentive would there be for people to go into the medical field? Right now, Medicare for all seems to have a majority support. I am pretty confident that, as more details and issues come forth regarding that, that support will drop. We saw the same phenomenon with Hillary care in the 1990s. And supporters of Medicare for all are pretty vague on how it’s going to be paid for. That, or they come up with math that has no basis in reality
You just can’t simply answer these problems and issues with “but Sweden but Sweden†and “I think†and “I believe.â€
The current entitlement programs we have now are going to have to face cuts going forward. For now, the political will isn’t there to do it. From a politician’s viewpoint, that’s understandable. But investors will probably at some point have the final word on it anyways
These are complex issues. Nobody was supposed to live as long as they are when many of these programs were started. How do you provide healthcare for people but at the same time don’t risk the quality of healthcare or medical innovation? How do you do it without going further into debt and risking the US economy?
