Well at first I didn't think that, but after debating it with many different people over the last few years I have it in the back of my mind. Everyone I spoke to who was really against it cited that as part of their reason. I have even been told that "I have a friend in England, Canada etc and they said.......". Then I get tales of long waits (months) for appointments, long waits once at ...

Thank goodness I have no idea what its like to live in a country that pays for medical care. I guess I take our free health service for granted, and reading this makes me realise and the other messages, how lucky we are.

Coolpeach, My Canadian relatives have quicker access to medical care than I do in the United States, with private insurance. Another thought about another type of system - if you know much about French society, you know they wouldn't tolerate the system you described above - not for a second.

I'm actually pretty conservative when it comes to government fiscal policy. I'd like to see a weed-wacker taken to tons of government programs and spending. This is where I line up with my conservative friends. However, health care I feel quite differently about. Health care is resistant to the supply/demand capitalistic model. Also, I find it interesting that so many just say ...

I have been a nurse for 40 years--I am still working. An absolute "yes" to this question. I have taken care of too many people unable to pay for just their meds when discharged--usually the elderly. I believe it is a national shame to be without Universal Healthcare.

I agree, and feel uncomfortable about paying for a health service, and all the insurance system that who have in the USA. I guess though you dont know any different. I have worked both in the UK and the France and both are excellent in regarding of universal healthcare

My friend in the UK went to her Dr on a Monday c/o feeling weak and not eating-she had blood tests and went back to the DR on wednesday. Thursday she was admitted, friday she was diagnosed with CA and by monday she commenced on chemo. All paid for by socialised medicine. All childbirth is free, you even have your own midwife assigned to you. Post natal care is in your house for up ...

Here's what capitalism does to health insurance in the United States: it sets up a system where insurers have every incentive to deny, delay, and reduce care while amplifying profits to shareholders. It's not about delivering good health care - that costs money! It's about minimizing paying bills so the health insurance companies can make the most profit possible. With more employers ...
