I'm pretty happy with the health care system here in Italy. It's so much less of a hassle than in the US: get sick? go to the doctor, no paperwork, no forms to fill out (which, in Italy, is really something of a minor miracle), but "economics" are always with us, because health care is a scarce good.
It's true that every health care system rations care. The difference is that a universal system rations based on medical need (triage) whereas a market system rations based on ability to pay.
