Universal Healthcare is a huge topic today. Here is an article that I found about this topic. Recently one of Canada's prime ministers came here to the USA for treatment for something. I can't find the news story and I am still looking for it, but its interesting that the Utopian Universal Healthcare system is now going to subcontract private industries to handle things that they cannot do efficiently.

Both are pretty screwed up, universal health care requires long waits and poor treatment, while private health care relies on Insurance(unless you are rich) which you put a lot of money into but get little in return.

Well, it's just one nations.. many people like to point towards Canada and France as failures.. but there are just as many.. if not more nations that are success stories with Universal Health Care.... also.. I don't believe most people who want Universal want to get rid of private... granted it may lessen the volume of private care out there... but no one is saying get rid of it.... just saying make sure everyone has coverage.
Such as myself.. I'm a firm believer that the competition that drives a market pushes it to excel... but I also believe that doesn't give us the right to leave the little guy behind on something as important as health care.

What a surprise...the private sector is more efficient than the government...it's probably because of that dirty profit motive, those filthy capitalist pigs...

I'd rather everyone have slow healthcare than half the population have fast and half have none.
Private healthcare is extremely selfish...
