healthcare in my opinion is not a 'right', and by a right i would mean the 'right' to free speech, the 'right' to bear arms. etc. but in general our healthcare system is royally f'ed up thats for sure but just putting the government in control of it will do nothing to solve the problem. its my opinion that people run to the government whenever there is a problem regardless of whether or not the government is the right entity to handle the problem. in europe, yes everyone does but the amount of taxes coupled with the fact that their governments are facing steadily increasing charges, do the benefits justify the costs?
