you've obviously not given any consideration to what could possibly happen if you turn over the management of your personal well-being to the government. First, you can put aside ALL the graft, corruption, and kickbacks that are RAMPANT in the federal government. consider for a moment what happens if you turn over such a large part of private industry, over to a governing body that can force you to do things at gunpoint. Do you really think it's crazy to think that the government wouldn't begin to tweak your lifestyle, just a little bit? do you really think you can turn over that much power and money to the government, and STILL maintain your freedom? you're either crazy or an idiot to think that the American Government will just make sure you're provided for, and you still get to make ALL the decisions about your healthcare.

First of all, under universal healthcare, consider tax breaks for people who can demonstrate that they exercise. tax breaks for people who don't smoke. tax breaks for people who can demonstrate that their cholesterol is below 180. tax breaks for people who don't participate in risky lifestyle behavior. How would you feel if you had to go to the doctor to get a medical report every time you filed your taxes?

Consider what it would be like if healthcare rationing would have to take place? Guess who gets power over who gets treatment first? The federal government.

I don't know enough about the healthcare system to know EXACTLY how to fix it--but I know enough to know that asking the Federal Government is not the right answer. The federal govenrment can't do anything efficiently; it can't do anything better than private industry, for sure--and it sure as hell can't provide any BETTER coverage or service than what people can get in private industry. Plus, if you think oversight is needed into the healthcare system, let me ask you this: Who oversees the federal government?

you need to ask around in some countries that have it before you make a statement like that

How can you say "universal works on other countries, will work here too."

The health care system in Canada is not worth a hoot. I recently read that a Canadian women needed chemo-therapy and the health care system up there wanted her to wait like three months for the OK to come through for the treatment. She ended up coming down to the US of A and getting the treatment which ultimately saved her life. Yeah, Universal Health care works....As long as you don't need it..........
