Not only Medicaid but the VA are prime examples of how screwed up single payer can be. Both have a long history of poor care for people using them. I spent over 20 years in the healthcare industry and dealt with a ton of them. The VA has gotten better, but you still stand a good chance of getting a doctor who barely speaks English. At least I did ever time I used them.I have also dealt with people from other countries where they have socialized medicine. A few of those countries do an OK job but take huge amounts in taxes. Most are just as bad as the worst of the VA hospitals ever were. In some their hospitals are run like the worst of our nursing homes back in the 70s. England has huge problems with their system and they are getting worse because of all the illegals pouring into that country.We need to work harder to get government out of healthcare and to make the hospitals, insurance companies, etc compete.</blockquote>
