I would personally not want to live in the US because of the piss poor lack of social health care. its like its a third world country.
Pay some tax and get health cover. 
Whats wrong with that?

What’s wrong with pay some money, and get some health coverage?   Cut out the middle man, seeing as the government is horrible with budgets and money.

Of course they could just limit the profits of those in health care and insurance. Doctors play a few less rounds of golf a year, and we have cheaper health coverage!

You see the problem with that is that ill people cant earn money because they are ill. 

And of course you have managed to make health care a business in the US when it should be a service.

If I had had to pay for all the treatment we had on the NHS as a family I would be destitute.

You understand that the tax raise would be to fund an alternate public health care system, in which most services would be free or little cost, Yeah? It would save the young healthy "I don't wanna pay for other people's health care " crowd an exorbitant amount of money and people would not have to worry about being bankrupt because they can't afford bills that KEEP THEM ALIVE. That's more important than the cost, I hope you see that. It's the most fucked up thing that people are okay with other people dying or losing every cent they have because of unaffordable medical costs when there are systems in place in so many countries that have successfully prevented that. Boggles my mind.

All people hear is "TAX RAISE" but for some reason "NO INSURANCE PREMIUMS" doesn't get the same amount of traction. You would save money. Without a doubt. I blame Reagan. His philosophy completely duped the middle class for the next fuckin century.

Am I going to keep my same health services for the same or similar costs. Because I have heard that before. I call shenanigans.

Free always seems to cost more!

Our health care costs far less than yours and it's better.
