@Bozza dude, back before government interference and meddling caused costs to skyrocket and the necessity of insurance and HMOs, American citizens used to pay doctors out of pocket. A modest fee would cover a house call.

Doctors haven't done house calls since I was a small child, and they were rare even back then.

Our shit's expensive because of government, and the solution sure as shit isn't "moar government!".

It's almost like they've deliberately made it suck so that people would adopt attitudes similar to yours, and say "we should just have the government handle everything! Because they've been totally competent at everything they've ever done!"

Oh, wait, that's exactly what they did.

And your emotional plea doesn't change the fact that government interference isn't the answer. It'll make things worse.

Just look at how bad your health system is, and Canada's. The wait time for anything is ridiculous.

People leave countries with nationalized healthcare to come to the US and use ours, even as bad as ours has become. That should tell you something.
