I love the idea of universal health care, but does this change my/your perception? NHS caring for 2 mill people could be forced to bar elderly from operations. Health care rationing has erupted.
Most people under national health care coverage have supplemental insurance or endless wait times. Our costs are too high, true, but there are ways they can be reduced.
Universal or single payer anything is the kiss of death. Without competition there will always be rationing, high costs, and other abuses. Name one thing (other then the military) that the government does really well ???
Private health insurance companies often deny procedures when they are judged unnecessary, despite doctors' recommendations. I don't see how this would be likely to be more of a problem with a government funded system.
