Wait and ask your kids in 10 years.... see how 'happy' they are with it.
Every European country has rocketing healthcare costs... The UK has a population of some 60 million people. Their National Health Service is the 4th largest employer in the world. Not in the UK, not in Europe.... IN THE WORLD. It is a MASSIVE drain on the country. It is not fit for purpose, it's overly bureaucratic, the hospitals are old, nurses and doctors are over worked, people die here because they can't get drugs that you'd get in a heartbeat, yet they provide sex change ops, abortions, and even cosmetic plastic surgery. The countries where the system works (like France), every worker pays HUGE amounts in. Once we go down that road, we can never go back - and I've seen it. It's ******* crap.
Worst of all, patient access to critically needed health care is now collapsing -- too many with too little supply -- and very massive gubmit restrictions on what health care providers are ALLOWED to do -- the doc may KNOW that Jane needs X, but X, because it is too expensive, is NOT ALLOWED, and Y, which doc knows is actually harmful in Jane's particular case, is MANDATED -- one size does NOT fit all -- and when you cram size 40 into a size 10, you HURT the patient -- we're already seeing this in the obstruction/BAN on treatment for breast cancer, congestive heart disease, AIDS and other critical conditions -- because the patient COSTS TOO MUCH MONEY and LIMITS GOVERNMENT PROFITS from forced citizen insurance purchase, the patient MUST DIE -- and nobody in Washington is going to weep a single tear -- or even know the HURT of entire families, not just the patient the GOVERNMENT cannot profit from -- who needs a hurt animal? put the livestock down asap because there's plenty more where the first slave came from and MASTER needs his profits to pay for other crap -- especially his own vacations -- and office redos.
ALREADY happening, courtesy of Mr. I Don't REALLY Give a Shit and his Tzar of Euthanizing worthless animals who do not produce profits for the Master in the Big House on the Hill.
Further, we've got health care professionals LEAVING the profession -- the same shortage of trained and dedicated health care professionals experienced in Europe and Canada is already developing -- massive shortage in nursing professionals just got a major booster shot, with docs now included.
Same flight of talent we saw when Britain shifted to its own socialized medicine: British health care professionals CAME HERE where they could practice medicine and not wear the chains of government restrictions on what they were ALLOWED to do for the best interest of their patients.
