The only reason we are even looking to the government to run healthcare, is the cost. As far as services, we are the best in the world.

Quality comes at a price, and efficiency is determined by getting more quality for less cost.  You can argue that America has better healthcare than the United Kingdom, but America pays three times as much for healthcare than the UK, and I have trouble envisioning the UK doubling their healthcare funding (twice as many doctors, nurces, hospitals, etc.) and not having better healthcare than America.

But the UK can't triple it, because they don't have enough money.

So what do you want to have happen in the US? If the government takes it over, one of two things will happen. It will cost more, or we will get a whole lot less care.

which one is better for the US?
