What's your opinion on this type of Healthcare, that every nation in the western world but the United States has?

I for one support this type of Taxpayer funded Healthcare....

Just because other countries have it doesn't mean it's a good idea. Government is not known for frugal spending. Unfortunately, it's just the nature of the beast. Overall, socialized medicine would increase the total cost of healthcare at the taxpayer's expense.

Besides... who really wants politicians making healthcare decisions for them anyway?

I hate commies.

Yesh, look at the Nation of France. They have Socialized Medicine, and they're really well off.

Honestly, my state spends enough on medicad (it is socialized medicine in America OH NOES!!ONE) that it would not be a problem. It is not as if it is going to suddenly take away your HMO, or PPOE, or Health insurance proper. I feel that, as my LORD commands, we must take care of the Samaritan in our society, because HE will bannish the one who does not take care of the Lazerous/beggar to the eternal banishment, and for that, I cannot stand to see HIM do that. We must help the poor/unemployed/young/non tradtional worker stand a chance in our fast paced society.

So the doctors hopping the pond because of the idiotic amount of governmental standardization in wages and the reams of paperwork so graciously provided by GLORIOUS NHS is. . . what? Some kind of fluke? Do you ever wonder why Sarkozy wants to liberalize France and jump-start its slogging economy (although this is rather impossible due to the interested sophistry that most of France is)? Have you ever spoken with a Canadian (by the way, every one of them that has had to deal with it and that I've talked with hates their own stagnant governmental healthcare system), or is the most you've ever done in the way of research on the subject summarized in Sicko? By the way, Moore's a fucking tool and needs to go back to his computer room, like, permanently. That you apparently think France is GLORIOUS COLLECTIVIST BASTION hints that you've never actually taken a look at their own newspapers that bewail their economy as one of the slowest-growing in Europe (they're right). This is, fortunately for my point and unfortunately for the French, not a fluke, but instead an unintended consequence brought on by possibly well-meaning politicians that simply cannot resist meddling to make something "better".

Go on. Say that all you need is to "put the right people in power". Totally ignore the laws—not scientific but political—that will ossify any healthcare "service".

The government has no place in my bloodstream. Medicine is an industry and this is(was?) a free market. Socialization of any business inevitably leads to its stagnation; when there is nothing to compete against, professionals have little reason to improve their trades. Plus, the American government is way too far in debt right now to be paying for people's headache medicine.

And, untimately, I don't trust politicians with my health or money.

Even if this was a good idea, it should be a state issue instead of a federal issue. Remember good ole' Number Ten?
