I don't think that is quite right. There is no infinite amount of health care. I think everyone knows that. There has to be some sort of rationing. Right now, that rationing is if the person can afford it. The problem with that is that people then use that reasoning as a bludgeon for class warfare or discrimination. "Just because that person is richer than I am doesn't mean that they should get better health care." If the country goes to a single payer system, that rationing is no longer who can achieve it and afford it but what panel determines who qualifies for a certain procedure. Those panels are the "death panels."
