That becomes an issue under socialism when the state is unable to pay for all health care procedures, hence rationing is necessary.

Please identify one government that is socialist that does not face rationing.

For that matter please identify any government that does not face rationing.

...as opposed to paying 17 percent of GDP in health care costs and having 50 million (expected to climb to 70 million pre-reform) citizens without insurance?

Oh, and the rationing debate happened leading up to the health care reform bill being signed into law. On one hand were the single-payer advocates and on the other were the RW nuts screaming about long lines and rationing in Canada. Look up some of the posts addressing the issue.
