National healthcare is a good thing if it works, like it does in many European countries... But the USA's government couldn't organise an piss up in a brewery (without it costing $1.2 trillion anyway).

I've heard different things about national healthcare in Europe. Long waiting lines,people dying before they can get an appointment. Out of control budget in Europe. That's just what I've seen on the news. Samething in Canada.

Highwaystar101's life tip #1462 - Everything you read and hear in the news is complete pile of crap.

We get horror stories about the healthcare in the UK too, stories about people dying before they see a doctor, people in queues for hours. Let me tell you something, it's bollocks. Those stories do not represent the status quo, they are for the most part isolated cases that the media has sensationalised to sell papers and gain viewers.

It makes better news than "Everything is A-OK".

Fair enough it's not as efficient as private, but it's a good system. I rarely find I have to wait too long to see a doctor.
