天下沒有白吃的午餐。

It's not unlike the excitement about socialism we had in the earlier 20th century, that there were fantasies about how things worked in other countries. Cuba was supposed to be a paradise, and the Soviet Union was supposed to be a paradise. And they weren't. But Americans aren't there, they had not seen it, so you can maybe fool them. It's the same thing about the single-payer that Bernie Sanders planned, that so many have signed on to. It's not like a plan in any other country. First of all, most of those countries that had so-called single-payer plans backed off and allowed private health insurance. None of them have free healthcare at the point of service, in the sense that all you do is show your card and you get it. No, you have to pay something in Sweden when you go to the doctor or you have a hospital visit. It's the same exercise, fantasizing about what's going on on the other side of the ocean and the miracles that they have, and we should have them too.
