Default Re: Universal Healthcare? Can it work? I\'m doubtful...

Your government already spends more per capita on health than any other country in the world. Then private individuals spend as much again. The resulting health care system is ranked 37th in the world according by WHO.

Something is very wrong here.

This statement is a strike against a universal healthcare system...

I love this reasoning. US ranks 37th behind mostly national systems, which are all cheaper by far than the US system. So this says what to you? That a national system is far worse than the current system ... with no further data or rationale necessary. I really don't know what to think on health care yet, but I know that simpletons like you only muddle up the debate more than they shed light.

I love the word "cheaper". When I, or someone I care for needs to go to a doctor, thats precisely what I'm looking for. A cheap quack over a highly trained specialist anyday, I say!!
