Yep, seems to me that if you add 50 million to a system and do not increase the amount of doctors, you will obviously have to do some serious rationing. They will do triage based on the patient's age and statistical life expectancies. For instance, people who need a knee replacement will be put on the list. Who do you think will get their knee replaced faster? A 50 year old or the 70 year old? Their statistical software will determine that the 50 old goes higher on the priority list because he will have more years to be in the work force. When they add another to the list the 70 year old goes further down the list.
But don't worry, they may issue the 70 year old a walking cane and prescribe an aspirin for the pain.
