Re: Universal Healthcare? Can it work? I\'m doubtful...
In Canada, the government is being forced to consolidate and specialize hospitals in order to keep costs under control. As a result, people are dying in ambulances because they have to drive past 3 hospitals to get to the one that has the facilities to treat their condition. This is not a problem in the USA.
You're right... each system has pros and cons. But the cons for a government run system here in the US far outweigh our current issues.
If you can't afford treatment, there isn't a hospital in the country who will refuse to treat you. Obviously, this does not apply to nose jobs and other elective things.
There are systems in place to take care of those who can't afford treatment. This is solving a problem we do not have.
