And the many ways which we can condemn socialized health care become even more apparent as we look at the lack of success that they are having in Turkey: Turkey’s public health system is blocked by the government’s recent health communiqué asking state to meet all in-hospital medical expenses for inpatients. Hospitals halted surgical operations for their medical supply were cut after firms gave up taking part in biddings, due to university debts that stem from state non-payments.
A recent government health communiqué asking state hospitals to meet all the medical expenses of inpatients has pushed into a big crisis. Some faculties of medicine, also serving as public hospitals, have started to refuse patient applications because, despite the two and a half-month extension granted for implementing this change, have failed to obtain necessary financial resources.http://www.jmverville.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/images/spacer.gif
In particular orthopedic and neurosurgery departments, despite their critical importance, have halted operations for they require prosthesis devices. Patients refused at university hospitals doors have begun to look for other hospitals. Moreover, refused patients who need operations requiring specialization have had to apply to A-type private hospitals that are quite expensive. As a result, those who have the necessary financial resources may be able to receive the medical treatment they need but those with no financial resources are desperately waiting for a solution to the crisis victimizing them.

In short: due to the inherent foolishness of appointing a government bureaucracy to manage the needs of hospitals, they have caused the prices to soar and patients to be turned away from getting operations that they need. They have made a government system so bad that medical procedures which could be performed before cannot be done anymore at a good cost to the consumer.
I'd like to quote a good friend of mine, Adam Torson, and note that a liberal is somebody who sees the disaster of Hurricane Katrina, the war on drugs, the bureaucratic pork barreling corrupt spending and Operation Iraqi Freedom and would like these people to manage our health care system.
When government puts its nose where it should not be there will usually be a close impending crisis in that section of the market.
