[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The US has the best healthcare in the world.....   but only for the 1% and people who can afford it. [/b] For most regular people there are steep and serious limits to what we can get without bankrupting us.

This is why we need a universal healthcare system, to rein costs in and make healthcare reachable again for people.  I'm in favor of having private treatment options available in addition to public as many countries do but the bottom line is that we need a serious fix.  The GOP plan goes in exactly the wrong direction and fixes nothing.[/quote]

a. More than the 1% in America have and do benefit from the best healthcare in the world.

b. Universal healthcare, some thoughts from a WSJ physical poster today. It the American Public agreeable to this?

Characteristics of single payer countries:
1) Smaller, uniform populations with similar beliefs and work ethics.
2) On average, every worker pays 50% in taxes.
3) Costs are controlled by government controlled rationing guidelines.
4) Malpractice decisions are made by government panels
5) Physicians have unions with the right to strike.
