I never got why people are against the "Free Death Counciling".

Seems like a good idea to me if your going to go with universal healthcare. 

The bad idea is the fact that under socialized medicine the poor are pretty much always treated as second class citizens because rationing needs to occur.

 

Besides which the drawing is probably fake.

Urgh. There is just so much wrong with this post. I'm just going to point out that in a privatised system the poor aren't given proper healthcare at all because they can't afford it. Its the reason why nearly 50M Americans are uninsured.

NHS and other socialised systems aren't perfect, but they aren't broken like the American system.

The USA has a much lower mortality rate then the UK does for people over 75%.  The old are biased against after paying their entire lives into a system. 

 

If there needs to be bias in a system... it should at least be for the people who aren't paying rather then be biased against people who are paying for healthcare.

However, that isn't even the case.

Fact No. 5: Lower income Americans are in better health than comparable Canadians. Twice as many American seniors with below-median incomes self-report "excellent" health compared to Canadian seniors (11.7 percent versus 5.8 percent). Conversely, white Canadian young adults with below-median incomes are 20 percent more likely than lower income Americans to describe their health as "fair or poor."[5]

 

Fact No. 8: Americans are more satisfied with the care they receive than Canadians. When asked about their own health care instead of the "health care system," more than half of Americans (51.3 percent) are very satisfied with their health care services, compared to only 41.5 percent of Canadians; a lower proportion of Americans are dissatisfied (6.8 percent) than Canadians (8.5 percent).[10]
