Doctor #1 - Charges $500 for a procedure.
Doctor #2 - Charges $1500 for a procedure but is closer.

People who have no consideration in the transaction (aka free healthcare) will always choose Doctor #1. I then have to pay their taxes.

like i said, your system doesnt work.  in europe nobody cares to what doctor you want, they all the the same money for the same procedure.  and it works BETTER than in the US.

Several states have done this and ended up losing money. Theres no point in setting up a system to save money only to have it cost you money.

I just want to know - Do you Europeans ever realize (let alone admit) that you reap the benefits of the US healthecare system indirectly? In fact, do you realize that one of the largest exports from the United States is Medical Technology?

Pharmaceutical companies, Medical Technology companies, etc are all huge in the US because the system actually supports it. Capitalism begits competition; and competition begits innovation. 

There are plenty of examples in the United States were state controlled healthcare actually hurts the system. One big example is the quasi-single payer system known as Medicare. Medicare is the government's health insurance system for people over the age of 65. Its one of the largest single expenditures of United States Tax dollars, yet, the government mandated rates are often too low to actually cover the clinic/hospitals costs.

2.9% (1.45% employee and 1.45% employer) of every taxable income dollar earned in the United States (and the "rich" get an extra 1%ish i think) goes to paying for the healthcare of the elderly. The funny thing is -- medicare also has cost sharing.

Welfare is only one form of income redistribution in the traditional sense. Its also a fraction of the overall government assistance.

Welfare in the traditional sense is literally cash handed to "low income" people. 
Next, and separate, you have Food Stamps which is split into EBT funds and at least in my state actual cash assistance.
Next, and again separate, you have rent assistance.
Next, and again separate, you have daycare assistance.
Next, and again separate, you have Medical Asisstance/ State sponsored medical programs.
Next, and again separate, you have education assistance such as the pell grant and state programs.

Lastly, and imo the most annoying of the programs,you have the EIC (earned income credit). People who literally pay ZERO income tax (they get it all back) get a check from the government for up to $5200. This is in addition to the Child credit, the Childcare credit, the Education credit, etc. We personally know a single mom of 2 kids that works as a CNA (certified nursing assistant). She gets all the government assistance I listed above - makes only $17,000 a year - but still recieved a ~$8000 tax return.

1. europe has a lot of huge pharma companys too.

2. the cost for pills  arent lower in the EU,  the rest of the system is just much cheaper because the state regulates the prices for everything,and there are alot less people wo make a profit.

3. the problem is that just a small part of the system is state controlled, and 2.9% isnt that much to cover all the old folks.

The single largest jump in debt was Obama's first year in office. Since then, we have only just barely returned to the level of debt we were at when Obama got into office.

Yep I understand a lot of people hate these systems but I've seen them work and I've seen them help people get out of the hole they're in. My family was on them at one point and now my dad is making over 120k a year. My sister is making over 60k a year and I'm making over 50k a year once my contract is up I'll easily be able to find  a job making 60k+. We were children of welfare and now we help pay back into the system that helped us when we needed it.  Mitt Romney's family was also on Welfare and now look at how well they're doing. You always hear about the people who are abusing them system but you rarely hear about the people who used it for what it was inteded for. Helping people who are in a rough spot and just need some help until they can work themselves out of it.

It's a shame that people abuse the system but honestly these programs aren't the place we should be looking to get money back. We need to focus on these companies that are using tax loop holes to avoid paying anything. That will bring in more money then will know what to do with.

im pretty sure mr romney did never need welfare checks, his dad was the boss of a car company, governeur of michigan and minister under nixon, if he got welfare checks, he abused the system big time.

Don't act like he doesn't take advantage of his minority status. He's given so much benefit of the doubt for his actions and from the media, I don't think you can really use his party or color as a con.

Also for the OP, most would consider the health care act a negative and the economic situation has not "recovered".
