You didn't have the time to read the articles I posted with links and make your reply so we now know how it goes. I posted facts, you post wannabe's and should a be's. Carry on. We don't have a perfect system. No other country does either including communist china. The US government pays out more per capita than china does in government healthcare.You dismiss the fact that during obummers term, massive numbers of Canadians came to the US for healthcare because Canada's sucks and Great Britain has death panels. Proven with links. Another common misperception is that in other countries, their governments cover the cost of health care, with everyone covered under a national "universal" health plan.The fact is that every country — even communist China — relies on a mix of public and private payers, as well as out-of-pocket spending, to cover the cost of care. There are, of course, differences in the share covered by these entities. But no country relies 100% on government to pay for health care.Take Canada, for example, which is often cited by health care reform advocates as a model of government-run health care. There, the government actually <a href="https://www.cihi.ca/en/health-spending/2018/national-health-expenditure-trends/who-is-paying-for-these-health-services" target="_blank">only pays 69% of the nation's health costs</a>. Canadians pay 15.4% of the costs out of pocket, and private insurance covers 12.4%.Again, more facts, not conjecture or speculation.</blockquote>
