I personally think you do not want to name a nation as that would then allow others to take a closer look at the system in question...

That's easy. Just cherry pick all the positives and ignore the negatives of the Australian, French, Canadian, and British systems (make sure you ignore the Polish, Slovak, Hungarian, and Bulgarian UHC systems entirely as their dismal failure isn't relevant to this discussion), and the result of this will be the American UHC system.

Maybe I should enter politics?

Ever consider the possibility that Democrats want it to fail? Why else would they push so hard for something they know has already failed everywhere it has been tried?

Yes. An impossibility actually, because none exist.

the point is, the government DOES pay for those things for your health and convenience, and so that business can run as smoothly as possible. You all may like the idea for yourselves of being cowboys on a buffalo trail living in the woods but the actual country has to function.

I have come to the conclusion that the supporters of such systems simply want others to pay for them,it is based upon their own selfishness and has almost nothing to do with helping the less fortunate.

Maybe if we start to thin the herd we won't have to make such choices in the future.
