    In Syria we have universal health care and it is over crowded and needs alot of improvement. So I'd rather have privately provided health care. There's really no objection to it beyond "what about the poor", and even this: help them!

    Hopefully this will be a wake-up call for the dems. Electing a GOP as replacement of Ted Kennedy, to try to kill Ted Kennedy's bill And the margin of victory, thats a landslide. If this isn't a smackdown, I don't know what is.

    No no no, sorry about the confusion, they had it when they were Communist. I was merely saying it is a Communist thing.

    Syria has extremely left-wing socialist policies in many things; recently we've seen privatization in banks and such and, no surprise, we've experienced some growth.

    Syria is still an extremely left-wing country, unfortunately.

    Quite a few countries have different variations of universal health care. A single payer system as well as one that is implemented by the government, but funding is not limited to just taxes, are types of universal health care.

    Yes, but hopefully we'll enter the 21st century soon, and have a system based on reason.

    Many countries, Canada and Norway for example, are seeing private health care providers on the rise. The demand in these countries is continuing to grow, while doctors look for better oppurtunities elsewhere and improvements become stagnant. People with money will get a second opinion and not just lay there and die when the doctor doesn't have the heart to tell you the truth, instead lie that there is nothing more they can do.

    True, but I doubt many doctors in UK's system worry about malpractice suits and punitive damages.

    How does that relate to Universal Healthcare being a step to Communism. Is it a step towards Communism? Yes. Does that mean everyone who had it went Communist? No.
