You realize that most countries with socialized healthcare have private healthcare, too. Joel Send a noteboard - 24/03/2010 04:16:28 AM
One group of people who have never used the US system don't like. So what? I would say this is more the influence of the media then anything else.

Now I ask you: if there are two restaurants, one where people who are rich and have choice choose to eat when they are really hungry and one where people eat at because they have no choice which would you choose.

In other words, they have a basis for comparison you (and I) utterly lack. I do know of one exception; Norway apparently has no private health insurance, not because it's illegal, but because no one wants to buy it. Those poor suffering SOBs.... :rolleyes:
