We only support public healthcare because we ourselves are looking for that free handout!
No. Most of you support it because you live in a country that has it and you like how it's obviously working for you. You are forgetting that America is not your country and we are completely different and our government is full of dumb asses that couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. Our government programs have glitches in them all the time and the service one gets from the government is horrible. Call any government line and they bark at you like you are a dog and keep you on hold forever and they do not give you good customer service. The IRS is a nightmare to talk to. My husband is disabled vet...and the care at the VA hospitals are horrible. You do realize that recently people have been getting AIDS from VA hospitals because they didn't clean their equipment? Some hospitals had roaches in them and were falling down...literally. This is the American government rean health care for our vets. For the people that mean the most to Americans...this is how they are treated. How do you expect the general public to be treated if the government ran our health care? Government programs have problems. I'd rather call a personal health care company who wants my money and complain because they will do their best to fix my issues. If I'm a paying customer they will not want to lose me. Our government doesn't care about customer complaints because they aren't a business. They take the money from us whether we like it or not. No one who works for any government office will get fired for being rude to customers because we aren't a customer....we are just another way uncle sam gets money. Nothing will be different if we have government ran health care and in all actuality...we'll get worse health care than before.
