Actually, Universal Health care is a good thing. I live in Canada, and though I suffer in some ways, one thing that Canada does get right is FREE universal health care. I never have to pay a cent for any doctor's visists, surgery, hospital stays, nothing. I can go to the doctor for the slightest little cold if I want and it's free. I bet I dont wait any longer than anyone in the U.S. And if I did have to wait an extra hour, I would be gladly willing to because it's free!

The government and corporations make vast sums of money and they can easily afford this. It's true that in Canada we are taxed a little more, but it's worth it! Everyone I know in Canada agrees with me. The only ones who dont are the health insurance lobbyists that want to oppose it. Those are the people that get all the press.

The U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the World. Although I'm not a communist, even Cuba has a better health care system than the U.S. They have a better health care system than Canada. In Canada you still have to pay an arm and a leg for medication. In Cuba, the prices are 1% of what they are here for meds. In England, you only pay 6 pounds for any prescription med. Any medication. Whether it's Aspirin or AIDS meds (which I am told cost thousands per month in North America).

I think the people on this thread have been manipulated by the U.S. media to reject universal health care, not knowing how good it would be for them.
