Why are so many people so quick to view single-payer as "the answer"? Several countries with UHC don't have single-payer but some version of multi-payer such as France,Germany and Switzerland.
I have no big problems with folks who view health care as a right.
It is not a right under the consitution; however, to make it a right we only have to agree that it is and make it part of the constitution.
Just make sure you implement a health care approach that avoids long waiting list,deficit problems,doesn't cause people to over consume services and can be sustained over a long term regardless of demographic changes.
In other words, don't make it like the current system that we have now. I believe the European and Canadian model would solve these problems. It does work there.

Yeah but we need to examine the good and bad of those systems. These UHC systems are more complicated to fund and manage than many American UHC advocates realize. Look at France's issues and they are ranked No.1 in healthcare.

Every system is going to have issues, but a simple comparison will show ours is the worst with the most problems. No one in the UK is advocating going to the U.S. system.
In business, you look at the best practices and then try do what others are doing well. It is no wonder that no one is trying to copy our system and we are looking at theirs.
This nation has to simplify the approach, regardless of direction it goes in. I would MUCH prefer a system based on the same capitalist principles dentists use and highly reduced regulation. Unfortunately, lobbies will prevent this from happening and we continue to straddle the fence between socialized and capitalist, taking the worst of both worlds in some highly inefficient Frankenstein system.
