Driving is a choice... living (unless you commit suicide) is not.
Everyone alive needs healthcare.

All civilised societies. Have state healthcare and those who can
afford it have the choice of additional private healthcare.

A nice summation, but too elegant for dunderheads with their
heads in the sand who choose not to look at what works so
well elsewhere ('cuz it's "socialist"...), and who, if successful
in preventing true reform here, will continue our system of
incredible waste, extremely high public costs, and personal
health insecurity and potential economic disaster. All in the
name of "free enterprise"...
This is stupid.

As someone who has to deal with medicare and others who deal with
medicare you don't have a clue. My son is disabled and well never work.
Years after he got out of a hospital we were still getting notices about
payment and trying to charge us.

In countries that have it - they ration care. My priest has a mission
in Lethbridge, Canada, which is not a small city for that area and
covers many of the surrounding areas for medical. One of the men up
there had a heart attack on a Thursday. There were no doctors to take
care of him. They stabilized him on blood thinners and it was Monday
before they could fly him to Calgary for a stint.

I've been in Lethbridge - it is rather small...

It is not uncommon to have to wait at least 3 hours to see a doctor,
assuming you have a doctor. If you don't have a family doctor you can
expect to wait 10 hours to see one. Not my idea of practical.

One of the priests from our order in the 80's had cancer. He was a
citizen. He needed a ventilator in order to breathe. The government
determined that on a specific date the machine would be turned off. Now
he wanted to live. He was awake and alert. Two other priests scheduled
to fly in and say Mass at the foot of his bed before he died, so he
could receive Communion one last time before he died. The first one flew
in, checked on him and went back to the airport to get the second. When
they got back, the hospital refused to wait 20 minutes for them to say
Mass so he could receive Communion.

These were unfortunate events (and REALLY unkind in this last case).
I assume they refer to experiences in Canada? But, they do appear
not to characterize similar systems in other countries with denser
populations and no such "brain drain" just across the border, as the
US represents relative to Canada.

Please quite living in a vacuum and believing what the left is feeding
you and check out what they are feeding you before it is too late! Our
system is bad - but what they want to give you is far worse!

I tend to believe those who have fewer ulterior motives for deception,
and who lie far less often...
