The reality is that government run health care isn't what people seem to think it is. They seem to believe that:
1. Health care will be free
2. Anything you want and need will be provided
Looking at all the proposed UHC proposals and studying other socialized medicine countries shows neither is true.
Health care ends up more expensive due to the extra layer of government bureaucracy. It appears "free" but it isn't. The government just takes the money from another pocket. It's bait and switch. You just pay for it instead with 17.5% VAT taxes and 63% income taxes.
Also with UHC, the government decides who gets what. The blogger that wrote that story seems to think under UHC he'll get all his diabetes stuff for free and whatever he needs but it has NEVER worked that way in any country with UHC.

Yes, easy to fall for the headline. More difficult, I am discovering, for many to read the actual article. But don't let that stop you from you ranting on and on and on.....
