Why not replace private physicians in America with emergency rooms?

US needs universal health care like Canada. If they stopped putting so much damn money into defence they could afford it without too much of a tax increase.

Your anorexic survivor in your avatar wishes that they don't.   Waiting several months on a waiting list for triple bypass heart surgery could prove as fatal as his anorexia survival tactic.

True man. The current private health care system is definitely good if you have money. I'm Canadian and my dad needed knee surgery recently and was told it would take 4-6 months to get it done in Canada...well he got it done in 1 week in the US. 

If I ran a country there would be a two-tiered health care system. Everyone gets the basic health care, but if you have money you can pay your way to the front of the line for surgeries/care. 

I suggest a fully free market healthcare and insurance system which would provide great care for all at costs all could afford.

That sounds fine to me since I come from a family with a good amount of wealth, but I think that kind of screws over all the poorer people a little bit.
