It's simple, really! Public health services organized on a national scale as a public responsibility. What don't you understand about it?

WRONG! Communismus is the aim of some socialist movements. It was never reached.
But in Europe, many states uses socialism and liberalism and our life quality is better than in the US. Less crime and poverty. Look at Wikipedia: Socialism or social democracy! By the way: In the UK even the conservatives the support the NHS.

And when you say the UK is communistic, sorry, but i have to laugh. Soviet Union has fallen down, but the other side, the radical liberalism or US-Conservatism will be too.
The US is an uncivilized country, who everybody can carry a weapon and people can't pay her healthcare, what a sick country. Come to Europe and i show you, what happens while you live on your cowboy ranch. LOL.

Socialism in practice means looking after the less well off, this reduces social strife, do you have a problem with that or are you selfish?

Hi there its me again. Hope you are well. If it was called "Universal" healthcare would that not scare you so much. Don't you think ALL Americans should have a right to access to healthcare with an option to go private if they wish to? Its HEALTH care. It is not going to threaten your individual freedom. I don't want my personal freedom messed with either...Americans do not have a monopoly on that desire. Its not communism. Its compassion for others and helping each other.
