What you say sounds good in theory but you are leaving out the part where SS and Medicare are for the most part totally bankrupt and are shrinking by the year. After they raise the age limit a few more times you'll have paid into the system your whole life and may never get a chance to even collect.

You also leave out the countries like the UK and others that do have socialized health care that are also going bankrupt, rationing care and cutting back on benefits and services. Not to mention the overall quality of care is horrible.

Notice when someone is in serious trouble they always fly them here? There are already news stories going around that if Leam Neeson's wife got injured here in the USA she would have never died. She couldn't get the care she needed so they flew her here but by then it was too late.

Our private health care system can be fixed and left private but yet again most of the problems are caused by the government and now we're told the only answer is from government.

TORT reform has never ever been addressed by the government. One of the reasons for high health care costs is malpractice and frivolous law suits. Ask your doctor or hospital how much of your bill goes to their insurance? Oh, by the way, a lot of politicians and their buds are lawyers who make fortunes from health care lawsuits.

The list goes on and on an one. Our health care isn't broke, it's the government that's broke.
