Google: "Liverpool Care controversy" to get an idea of how a national health care system works in UK.
Here's a good example

Reagan famously warned against what can be wrapped up inside of “healthcare”, when run by the state.
It was definitively called socialism.
When Hillary tried it, Reagan’s words rose again to haunted her efforts.
This conclusion against state mandated health care is no new revelation. Even Reagan had to lift the obvious from somewhere. He knew communism and its threat very well.
Communism has been fought in this country before, and also Hollywood.
Oops, still on my cell keyboard here.
I meant to add that ALL constitutional rights & the Bill of Rights can safely be undone, under “Healthcare”. Just pull any issue of the day, say for example, religious freedom, and that also can be “managed”, under the auspice of “healthcare”.
It is a good thing for pundits and pols to clarify, and I am glad Sarah did.
Was it an entirely original thought? It shouldn’t be, given our historic understanding of healthcare and socialism.

Yet millions of God-fearing, anti-socialist, anti-Obama Americans were manipulated by FEAR into voting for the first American governor to successfully implent state-mandated health care. Millions of anti-Obama Americans fell for the illusion of voting "against Obama," when such an option was purely imaginary. The good news is that there were more Americans who saw through that illusion.
I will say again: it is a good sign for America that Romney lost. Obama didn't "win," he was rejected overall, only pushed over the line by fraudulent and manipulated votes. Romney LOST because he was a statist/socialist and enough Americans who abhor socialism possessed the courage to conquer the fear tactics of GOPe.
America is in better shape than we think. It isn't rosy, there are a lot of problems, a horribly misguided and morally confused youth among the most prominent -- but they're YOUNG and have huge potential for seeing the light, and to have the instinct to REBEL against the government that would repress them. The liberal education establishment has brainwashed them in one way; reality and patient, loving fellow Americans can educate them in another. We still have a chance, because Americans are on balance good, moral, productive people, of reclaiming our individual rights and vanquishing oppressive government.
The malaise that cripples morality in today's youth springs from the absence of God. The bible states crystal clear: God is love. If there's an absence of God, there's an absense of love -- and indeed, the liberal "appeal" is based on envy, covetousness, sloth, appeal to the lust for vengeance, promiscuity, and more things that are at the other end of the spectrum from love.
Those of us who seek to bring God back into American culture as a way to regain and preserve American liberty, must regard love as a required tool for doing so. We will succeed if we remember that love MUST be the foundation of our approach.
Bottom line: We MUST RESIST THE TEMPTATION to hold our fellow Americans in contempt. That path leads to defeat. Love for and faith in our fellow Americans is the path to victory.
