That would apply equally to equal patient populations, socialized care or not.

Care to guess again?

I don't recall anyone saying or even implying that. Just like FedEx and UPS make errors.

But like the President said, we have a choice with FedEx and UPS......

If the European socialist health care system is so bad and dangerous, then why aren't Europeans rioting to adopt USA's health care system?

Implementing UHC there has to be a sliding scale for the ratio of doctors to patients... Or everybody's risk increases.

This is not debatable.
So in other words you believe in something you cannot prove and are angry that I just made light of it. Your only postulation is a single medical mistake in Australia and the assumption that anyone who takes public insurance sees more patients.

Okay, you could have just said that. Anything is debatable if your only proof is that everyone must believe what you say without disagreement because anyone who doesn't is an idiot. Requiring negative proof and ad hominem arguments are only the sign of a crank.

Not in the influx of socialized patients place more burden because doctors are not entering the practice field at the same rate.

They are? Can you link those riots with that intent?

In one post you mention universal healthcare and in another socialized healthcare. Which is it? They are 2 very different systems.
