Seen it in other countries. Don't want it in this one. Govt can't even manage to spend within the budget and plays fast and loose with it, Medicare and Medicaid claims are a mess and you want universal health care managed by the same people? Isn't that kinda masochistic?

1. I know it is against US freedoms, but get rid of the jury trial. Leave it to the experts. It does work in other countries.
2. If you are talking about Canada and England, I agree. Look at Holland and Germany, it is a sliding scale system depending upon income, but everyone gets healthcare, and the hospitals aren't going bankrupt because the emergency room is not the doctor for those who are uninsured, and doctors want to stay doctors because they don't have to worry about being sued for their actions. I have a friend who is a Pediatric Neurosurgeon who stopped practicing because he got sick of the insurance companies and lawyers telling him how to be a doctor. Doctors we need to live, lawyers I don't know about.
