Since many of us work and have health insurance and do not want to have to deal with substandard healthcare in a nationalized system. We can keep our doctors and such and those who need healthcare get get it provided by the governement.
dont they already do that some though?

Sounds good but how many people are going to be willing to pay for the healthcare they get from work and pay taxes to support the nationalized system. Why does everybody assume that if they nationalize the heatlhcare system it will be substandard the same doctors will be out there the same hospitals etc..

It is sort of what they do, but there are still millions falling through the cracks. We provide for children, the elderly, and the very poorest of adults. We do not have plans for the working poor and those who can't get benefits at work (look at Wal Mart, one of our largest employers, providing almost no one with insurance), or those who are seriously underinsured. In cities that have healthcare, everyone pretty much keeps their doctor and quality has not decreased. In Vermont, with a quasi- single payer system, quality studies were very positive. But, there are several alternative to single payer and nationalized systems. France has truly nationalized health care, Canada doesn't. I think the Canadian system (and Scandanavian) works much better than national. And, they spend less than half of what the US government does per person on health care and they live longer than we do. Can't beat that.

Why do you assume that it would be substandard. This is nonsense propaganda being put out by the insurance industry.
The us is the only industrialized country in the world that does not have universal health coverage. We lag far behind many of these other countries in many areas of health care.
We are behind some third world countries now in infant mortality. US health care is already inferior to many of the countries that have universal health care. We need to stop listening to the nonsense being put out by the people who are profiting from a broken system that keeps many with out health care of any kind.

Healthcare provided by whom? Don't you mean provided by those of us who work for a living, or at least try to? Government provides nothing. It can only take and give away.
