Sorry your UHC experiences in another country are not relevent here.
I do not need to experience any other countries UHC to realize it's shortcomings because as my post states, I am fully aware of our governments inability to adminster such a program based on past/present performances.
Maybe it's different in Utopia.
Who is paying you?

How is your heart? Did you ever hear anything? Are you OK?

Sorry,,, what part of Venus is the USA in?
The USA is like any other Industrialised Nation except it has one of the worst health care systems in the world..... our world, not this imaginary world that some people think America belongs to.
You have absolutely NO IDEA of how a UHC works or is financed..yet you know its shortcomings...Exactly how do you know its shortcomings????????

So much for 'hope' and 'change'

Wouldn't mind a link here.

However, I am certain that the insurance lobbyists are trying hard to persuade the Democrats away from UHC. The Republicans are already theirs.

According to a recent estimate by the Urban Institute, the lack of health insurance leads to 27,000 preventable deaths in America each year.
Not too good huh?
