Socialized Health Care in the USA

[kandrathe]

Just goes to show that public health insurance wouldn't solve anything.

It would move the cost into a deficit riddled federal budget, and more than likely it would accelerate the growth of the national debt.

No doubt, of course, this would work just fine in a society where life is nasty, brutish and short (except, as always, for the wealthy).

You omitted the part where I said we still need catastrophic coverage.

I think queuing up on a waiting list to get mediocre treatment in run down, dirty understaffed hospitals sounds pretty nasty, and brutish.
