A national healthcare system would owned by the government and it would be worse. I worked in heath care and have seen people from other countries who were under their government health care system coming to the US for health care they could not get in their country. An example is a 6 month waiting period for getting a biopsy vs 2 days in the US and also surgical procedures that wouldn't even be done in their country. One person I remember came to our facility was a medical doctor from England. Another patient was from Saudi.
