Long lines, long delays, poor service, huge shortage of doctors. I don't even have a family doctor because I can't find one; I couldn't even get a skin infection treated because the doctor I went to didn't know what it was and suggested waiting for a couple of weeks.

Looks like the system you describe controls you pretty good. You have no choice but to stand in long lines, waiting for poor service. If you controlled your own healthcare, you could seek access to a provider competing for your patronage. The politicians would have no control over you. Neither would you be held hostage to that doctor who couldn't treat you for 2 weeks. That's being controlled. But in a free market system, you have the power to be able to secure the type of healthcare you need at the fair market value cost. What you describe above is something I can live without.
Edited to add: And the politicians control you because if they can provide it...they can take it away. They hold you hostage to voting to empower them. Social Security in the USA is a tool the Democrats/Liberals/ Socialists use to justify voting for them. How many times have we heard...." If you vote for Joe Smith (Republican).....he'll take away you're social security. That's a classic example of democrats controlling their constituencies dependant on them. Using fear of course. Control.
