The flawed logic of Hirono and the Democrats is the reason for their perception that "healthcare is a right" .  When you make it a right, you assume that the service is limitless, which it isn't.  In economics, if you increase demand, and you don't increase production, the cost of the service goes up, here is where the Hirono and Democrats fail, they have no economic background and assume that if the slogan sounds good, it must be good.  When the cost of a good or service goes up, and you take away price, then there is shortage, and there must be some other way to allocate that service, that's where politicians who advocate single payer come in, they allocate according to how they see fit, in other words, some bureaucrat will determine whether you get cancer surgery or not, and you are taken out of the equation.  Now, does that sound like a good idea?
