  • Exactly. Where is the regret? For doctors and corporations? They'll get paid plenty.

  • Ever heard of sarcasm?

  • "Socialized healthcare sounds good to most uninformed, but years after its implemented, many will regret it."

    Really?...How so?

    The U.K. has had socialized health care since the 1940s and the people there would flip out if it was taken away.

    It's cheaper, easier on the working class and much more in line with human rights to have access to health care.

    Single payer health care is publicly funded and privately delivered. When I'm sick the last thing I want to do is negotiate. I want help.

  • Get rid of government managed care middle men, and let doctors negotiate with their patients.

    Socialized healthcare sounds good to most uninformed, but years after its implemented, many will regret it.

  • Denial

  • Silly me, I thought the whole world, especially the Middle East, was in the Middle Eastern predicament.

  • Well, this is what you get when you NEOLIBERALIZE THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES ECONOMY FOR THIRTY STRAIGHT YEARS!!!! DUH!!!! We could definitely see this one coming here, right people? Am I right? C'mon!!!

  • no you are not the greatest nation nor the freest nor the most intellectual the world has seen!! This mentality that you are the greatest got you in the Middle Eastern predicament!! Wanting to spread your greatness amongst ppl with a long history,no one wants it you may keep all to yourself!!:) so go on treat yourself to some of your greatness:)

  • Are we really the greatest nation on earth when soo many people have no access to health care?
