We really don't have to look beyond our borders for examples of what happens when government runs your health care - Mass, Tenn, IHS (Indian Health Service - ask them how they like it), the VA.
Now beyond our borders;
Canada - shortage of doctors, long wait times for simple preventative care. An explosion in private HC facilities.
Nice lies, but as introduced earlier, most Medicare recipients are very satisfied, AND Canadians are more satisfied with their system than we are with ours.

Frickin' Time, for god's sake!
Only the fringe argues contrary.
Ah, but the fringe (and it took 'em 40 years to crawl back out of therocks they'd been under since causing the Great depression) says what the corpoprations want to hear, so they are very well funded.
Good puppets: many characters; one voice behin the strings and glitter.

"As introduced earlier"? By who? You - posting one man's opinion. Got any real evidence?
Really now - are you going to stick with the pathetic argument that Medicare is somehow a cost-effective, efficient, well-run government entity that beat out all cost estimates when initiated?
Did you miss my post about what their own Board says? The TENS of TRILLIONS of dollars in cost over runs? And this is your example of a well-run government system?
Inequality in the United States is on the rise, whether measured in terms of wages, family incomes, or wealth and is much higher than that of other advanced countries.
Not too surprising. We have a huge high school dropout rate, while jobs increasingly require higher levels of education and technical skills.

I suggest you look up data on "Real Wages", then look up unemployment rates vs educational levels:
In 2006, you were more likely to be unemployed if you had a college degree than if you were just a HS grad.
Now, I just know you will not read it, but you were saying something relevant here;
Quote:
If you were truly interested, and you are not, in the truth
But that would require you to look beyond your ideology.
I can't think of anyone this applies to more than yourself.
