I use to live in england and today most british people are admitting national healthcare was a mistake. Because in the long run it brings down the quality of the healthcare. In canada they have crappy healthcare. The fact is national healthcare saves lives in the short run however in the long run it makes quality of medical advances crappy. Mainly because of all the fellowships will be drop down dramatically.
I, for one, don't "defend" any insurance company. Personally, I'm very happy with the coverage I have. I feel it is a fair price. My "needs" have not been ignored one bit.
I do not support the concept of a UHI / UHC in the United States
That's fine, it's reasonable for you to defend what works in your interest.

I'm a Democrat by the way
You shouldn't make statements about things you are ignorant about...Canada's health care is far from crappy, and there are more important medical advances being made in Canada than you think.

They can better benefits by going out and getting a job that offers it. Even if that includes running for Congress.
If you HAVE a job, then you should be "covered". It shouldn't even come up. When ASKED if I want to sign up for benefits, my answer is "Hell no!"...but when I served in the military, there was no question of whether I'd be "covered" or not.

You are the one who shouldn't be talking about things you are ignorant about... that stuff they used in Canada... started in the USA with your healthcare used to pay for it... The Canadians used it from our developments... if we didn't want it... it would of never been made... and even then, do you think it would be readily available if the US didn't subsidize it for the world to use? How do we subsidize it? By making Americans pay more for it... can't wait for universal health care and the world has to pay more for it and whine... then we will see a decline in quality of medical care... you get what you pay for... its nice to be responsible when it comes to other people's money... or should I say irresponsible...
No;otherwise congress wouldn't have to do anything for you to get it. Even then you will have to signup and pay the premium if it ever passes. If it were a right all you would have to do is make a appointment and then pay nothing ;isn't going to work anywhere.
I feel we are entitled to health care, we pay into it every month. The premiums go up and the quality may go down, but most of us have health care.
