Not all of us. Medicare is a perfect example of the gov messing up something that they stick their hands in. First you pay for it all your working life. Then you retire and they tell you that Medicare A, which you paid for is only good for hospitalization. Not doctor visits and not prescriptions. If you want anything more than hospitalization, you must pay an extra $100+ for Medicare B, more for "C" and if you want prescriptions Medicare part D, which costs even more. No thank you. I will keep my Blue Cross/Blue Shield. As far as I am concerned, I the gov ripped me off, and now they are going to take half a trillion bucks of Medicare funds that WE paid for and use it to subsidize those that don't contribute (Obamacare).

So, if you think socialized medicine is such a great idea, travel and live in a few other countries...I HAVE. You need to experience it before you can understand it. Don't let those lefty liberals con you into thinking the gov is going to take all your troubles away. It's just like drinking until you pass out. You feel good when you don't have to stress about something, but once you wake up, the troubles are still there. And the bill is much greater.
