Most Americans who complain about a nationalised health system are normally quite wealthy, have their own health insurance, and are generally in pretty good health. I don’t see many people suffering from serious, life-threatening illnesses defending the American privatised health system. I would imagine insurance costs for someone like that would be astronomical, and for many unaffordable. And older people, who are far more likely to need help with their health, are very grateful in this country to get that help free and on demand. As for immigrants being treated who don’t contribute, as I understand it something very similar happens on your border with Mexico and immigrants coming from there. Health tourism happens the world over.

A nationalised health system is run for the benefit of the patients, not a private company. Many Americans talk about the rationing and cost-saving measures in national health schemes. But private companies go to extreme lengths to save money, too, just they are very good at keeping it hidden. The NHS is not interested in making a profit out of the patients like a private company, nor is it going to try and find legal loopholes to avoid costly medical treatment for individuals. Yes, some treatments are not offered if they are not cost-effective, but they are open and honest about this and make these judgements on a proven formula. I’d rather have them save money that way than screwing needy patients out their treatment by finding legal loopholes and running profit-making schemes.

The other criticism I often hear is that it takes a long time to get treatment on the NHS. Well, I can see my GP at an appointment time of my arranging within a week, and normally a day or so after phoning. If I need fast help, I can see them within an hour or so. And in a real emergency, I can go to an emergency department and be seen instantly if the problem is genuinely serious by a specialist consultant. Is that so different to your private care?

Specialist treatment is handled by consultants who work in both private and NHS practises. In other words, the same doctors who give private care are the same doctors who work for the NHS, splitting their time between the two. They are not Jackal and Hydes – they are just as effective in their jobs whether working privately or in the NHS.

I often feel that there is a lot of misinformation going around about national health schemes in America. Consrvative Americans compain bitterly about the reporters in the Iraq war who report bad news only. But conservative American’s themselves pounce on the bad news about national health care and ignore the good news.

Ask yourself this: is your private healthcare really such good value? Does it really offer better treatment? And if you get a serious illness, are you really sure you’re healthcare company is going to do all in its power to honour their contract? Or will they do their best to do as little as possible?

I’ve had a lot of help from the NHS, and I’m satisfied with it. That’s the real measure of success, in my opinion. I know I won’t change many minds, but at least you should be open to an alternative system.

When the furthest South you can get in Canada is North of North Dakota, gotta go somewhere further South :o)

oh my…try looking up Point Pelee, Ontario on a map.At least you’re smarter than most,you do know Canada lies to the north.

Of course, by “our legacy” I mean the U.S. Constitution.

Then imagine how much worse it will get under socialized medicine.

I think California has some caps, and it didn’t do anything to reduce the costs.

That’s because awards are not the problem. The problem is the risk every healthcare provider has of being sued for failing to be God. The respondent has to pay for their defense, win or lose, frivolous or not, and those costs dwarf even the largest awards. I believe we could handle the whole tort reform problem by making it losing lawyer pays. each lawyer would have to insure his case when filing suit and would have to pay all the hourlys of the winning lawyer if he loses.

Damage caps are like adding a new paint job to fix a transmission problem. They may look shiny, but they don’t address the issue.

Maybe Obama should do more research on Canada and “England”.

Obama knows Canadacare is garbage. He just doesn’t care.

I’m sure the teleprompter kid can find a DVD set or 2 on the subject…try Wal-Mart

Every person should be responsible for their own health care. If they had to shop for the insurance or shop for price and quality of the Doctor competition would drive the price down and force the quality of service up! Get the employer and government out of areas it doesn’t belong.

The Democrats think that we are all too stupid to choose between insurance policies and they need to do it for us.

Everything our government touches it damages so, by all means, let’s let Obama, Pelosi and Reid mess with health care.

Idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I think there is already a pilot program for Wal-Mart health clinics. I would love to see it work out.

CVS and Walgreens in my area already have these “minute clinics” or something like that. They are kind of pricey, but really handy. I used the CVS in my hood last year before traveling abroad. I got a hepatitus B shot, a shot for malaria and 3 scripts written for antibiotics, anti-nausea and anti-diaheria meds. Total price, not including the scripts for a grand total of $250.

It sure beat waiting in the doctors office.
