Autodidact
Intentionally Blank
It's failed everywhere it was tried. It makes everyone pay higher taxes. It lowers the quality of healthcare. It makes longer waiting lines. It eliminates people's ability to choose their own healthcare plans and their own doctors. It means lesser healthcare for the elderly. It makes things even easier on people who don't work and skim off government. There is absolutely no desire for anyone to be a doctor. Oh and don't forget that ever since England adopted universal healthcare, patient deaths due to doctor negligence have risen nearly 80% more than they were before.
I doubt that you're interested in the facts, but in case you are, did you know that countries with universal health care not only pay about half what we do for health care, but all but one actually pay less in taxes for health care? That's right, we pay more in taxes for health care than countries with universal health care. And of course, all of them have greater longevity, better health, lower infant mortality and dramatically higher patient satisfaction. Other than,that, yeah, it's a total failure.
Have you ever talked to a Canadian about their health care system? Or a Spaniard? Or an Israeli? Ask them if they'd rather use the U.S. "system." I dare you.
