Oh yes it does. I was talking about countries. If someone has a rare illness or an illness that's expensive to treat, you're put on a waiting list aka thrown under the bus because the needs of the many outweigh the few. In the US, you can pay to get treated. In other places, you're on a waiting list. If someone wants to get treatment, they can fly to somewhere like the US for it. That's why its better if some countries don't use universal healthcare. Just keep the US out of that.

That's a severe oversimplification of the issue.  There are priorities on who gets treated.  Long waiting times still exist in the USA.  People will die from waiting here or simply not ever getting treated due to not being able to pay for it.  You still don't seem to understand the issue that well if you think that universal coverage means that more people will die.

It's ultimately up to a person (or guardian in the case of children) to pay for their own treatment and healthcare. The government is not meant to provide everything from daily food to a place to stay by paying for it. It's not a surrogate parent to everyone that lives in an area.

I just believe that universial healthcare will not work out and that its not ultimately better for people. It's a kind socialism or even communism and it will fail in the long run.
