Universal healthcare is a radical left wing communist idea. People would stop working as a result. Plus it would cost taxpayers more. So I dont want universal healthcare in America.

We spend lots and lots of research and development...and thus we are controlled by the need to pay for that.

I cant imagine living without public healthcare. Must be frightening.. ironically the part socialistic society I live in has a much better economy then US atm.

Thank you! It seems that people don't know that alot of Research and Development is subsidized. That is number one reason the drug companies use when asked why are the medications so high.

You can only thank the US Federal Reserve Bank for our recession, artificial inflationary prices, and poverty here in America.

I'm surprised at my fellow american's lack of understanding about the country's situation. You have to pay a doctor for a prescription for your wellness. This is mandated health care which was brought on by the CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT. Which has effectively made prostitutes of the population and the doctors are the pimps. Ivy leage takes your money. Weird how in a free country you can't find any dirt lists on doctors or lawyers. They are the ivy league slavemasters. They don't care4U

Its odd that they chose the guy who was smoking three packs a day and eating hamburgers fried in butter as the poster child. A lot of people oppose universal healthcare because of people who make poor choices about what they put into their bodies.This guy isn't going to sell anyone on the fence about this issue. I'm just thinking they could have gotten a more sympathetic person to profile.

Under King Ludwig II, Bavaria probably spent a higher percentage of GDP on castles than any other country. That doesn't mean everyone was living in them. Even if the U.S. spends more on health care than any other country, it doesn't mean shit for people who can't afford it. Anyway, lot of that cost is due to bloated profits, I'm sure.
