I pay over $100 a month for my healthcare. And my healthcare plan blows.
Still when people compare healthcare plans to other countries what they ignore is America's immense size.
The population and landmass a national healthcare provider has to cover raises the prices...
We will ALWAYS pay more then Great Britian does per capita for healthcare... by a significant margin, privatized or public sector.
Personally I think because of this... Healthcare should be treated like how the schools should be treated.
State responsibility. That way you cut out the huge overhead and wastefull spending of the federal government.
Healthcare is one of the things that i think should be partially privatized.
No one ever seems to go with the mixed market approach though. They either want everyone to be covered for everything... even the tinyiest things... or they want nothing covered.
Me... i'm for enough "universal" healthcare to make sure every worker can get patched up and go back to work, with extras for things like... laser eye surgeries and stuff.

Couldn't having it in seperate states lead to things like people being able to pick up different prescriptions in different places, or hospitals not treating patients if their in the wrong state, or something.
I wouldn't see the latter being a huge issue, as, in the UK, the NHS wouldn't reject a foreigner for treatment most of the time.
