I have lived in one of those countries and other than the title,
waiting in line for healthcare will turn you off in the first 4 hours of wait.
In some countries like Italy, walking into a hospital with an emergency is an extremely positive experience.
In general, socialized healthcare system is not to my liking. I do not want to be lumped up with the unruly masses in waiting rooms.
I like the mandate. It preserves the private system, makes it available to all, and the rest of us can continue as we are.
I will never vote for anyone supporting single payer. The republican idea is the right way, except many uninformed, uneducated azssholes can't see it now that Obama is in office.
