I’m not so sure about that. Socialized healthcare is like a tick on your dog: once it gets its claws in there, it sticks there and gets bloated.
I have lived in both England and Canada. Our systems here are pretty bad (although not as ill-conceived as Obamacare), but it has gotten to the point, where you cannot even discuss changing it without being trashed as far right radical. Which however, is a badge I wear with honour :)
