Socialized health care sucks. It may provide "bang" for the buck but that doesn't change the lack of options and the LONG lines to use it. There is a reason a Doctor degree is more likely to appeal to someone in a place like the United States.
Actually it works very well here, but I suppose I would say that. As I pointed out before the mix with private insurance works okay, despite the misgivings of those of a more ideological bent (I tend to be a bit more pragmatic). Anyway enough of that, we're happy with it so I suppose we shouldn't try and proselytise.
Hillarycare is not working very well in the UK and Canada
I think it's probably under-funded in the UK. From what I understand of the Canadian system it's managed on a province-by-province basis and I wonder about that. My country has a small population, we have about 20m as opposed to Canada's approx 30m I think and the US 300m and the Brits about 53m. But we federalised our system back in the early 1970s and for a big country (land wise) with a very small population that probably makes sense.
As I said, I'm not preaching here, different countries need different solutions, but at the risk of sounding like a blowhard I think we've probably got a pretty useful mix - for our situation (I stress that last bit)l.
