The reason that universal health care would never work in the US is because half of you are adamantly opposed to the idea regardless of any number of facts presented to you.
While I don't pretend that our system is perfect I can tell you that on a per capita basis is costs roughly 1/2 what the US system costs to operate... Again, I say roughly as it's a while since I looked at the stats on that.
The main problem we have in our system is an entrenched attitude that resists change or progress of any type or any creative thinking to control costs... and the whole damn thing is subject to political intervention at any time. I think if everyone simply got on the bandwagon such as they are in northern Europe... and quit the debate about private-for profit vs public care and simply focused on making the public system better... it would be a lot better and a lot cheaper.
The notion that public underwriting of health is somehow going to force people into different lifestyle choices holds no merit with me. That's already going on in the US with private for profit underwriting to a MUCH GREATER EXTENT than it happens here. The form it takes here is a doctor pressuring you to do something, not an insurance company... All in all, to me it adds up to the same thing... and I like that no more than you do.

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it. ... [Read Article]
