I agree. I wish they'd trash the whole dang medical welfare system. The thing was a costly fraud from the beginning and it ain't improved with age.
I don't know if I agree with that. A basic universal health care support system is vital to a healthy, stable society. I think universal health care system should stay, but OUR system should go, or atleast be seriously seriously overhauled; it's just too bureaucratic, inefficient and wasteful. I think a good system, and a compromise between private and fed run system would be where everyone would get a reasonable and equal voucher from the federal government to be applied towards a basic health care plan provided by either the government or a private provider, but the individual recipient would have the power to choose. I think this would cut down on government waste and hopefully force competition between the different health care companies. I don't believe in a system where there would be no available basic health care and where those who couldn't afford medical attention for whatever reason would just be left to rot.
