Well I'm an American and I would be more than happy to have a health care system like Canada or the UK. I am just a working stiff, but I would gladly pay taxes on health care for everyone! I will be first in line to drop my private insurance like a hot potato.
There has been talk here about the public option (Medicare for everyone) dieing and people are outraged. 77% (I believe) of Americans are for a public option. Unfortunately the spineless Democrats are trying to make the Repukicans happy and are dropping this and that and maybe even the public option. The Republicans aren't for any health care reform so I don't know why the Democrats bother with them. Dems have the majority in the house. The Repukes will say no to whatever bill comes their way.
I heard last night that whatever health care bill is passes, if one is ever passed, wont take affect until 2013. WTF? I'm going to have to put up with CIGNA for 4 more years? Fuck.
It's funny that dlf mentioned moving to Australia or Germany. Don't both countries have some kind of universal health care?
