No such thing as FREE healthcare. Someone has to pay for it and no one wishes to pay higher taxes. No one is turned away from the ER and there are free clinics available in most states. Other countries that have "free" healthcare pay for it by taking half of your paycheck in taxes. Have any of you ever been to a socialized medicine country and stayed at one of their hospitals? Compared to ours, they are dumps. I went to one country where I was living in the capital of the nation and had to visit the main hospital for a some tests. No lights in the hallways, a broken window, a folding cot to sit on for an ultrasound test, and the MRI was done in a trailer in an alley. One country, you had to provide a blanket for a family patient. No private rooms in these countries, just wards.
American is GREAT!
