I do believe you're missing quite a lot. As western societies become increasingly feminized, many in these societies expect to be cared for and nurtured in much the same way they were by their mothers. Their governments then take on the role as their Other Mother.

The problem with our Other Mother providing health care is that options and competencies will become severely limited due to centralized decision making and lack of incentives for qualified individuals to become physicians, or even to continue practicing medicine.

I believe the individual should share in some of the financial and logistical burdens of their own healthcare. Do I think our Other Mother has a role in providing healthcare? Certainly, but way in the back of the process in support of extreme and extremely chronic cases like transplants, severe injury recovery, advanced diabetes and some others.
