I’ve had experiences with Govt run health care - in China. Maybe their problem is that they started socialized medicine when they were a poor country. In sum, it was awful. The cost was very low, but poor service (and sanitation) meant one would have to wait in lines foreover. Also, anyone seeking good care would need to make friends and quietly pay bribes to the good doctors to see have them see you. Their socialized medicine became such a joke that a private system operating both legally and illegally exists next to it. It now combines the worst of both systems....

Exactly, anyone who has lived in unfree countries knows what the “black market” is and how it will end up should the health care restriction pass. anyone remember prohibition? Do these a$$clowns in DC not realize that in order to change something as invasive an far reaching as they are proposing they dont just need the votes they need overwhelming public support which they do not have.Just like excessive taxes there is a tipping point when otherwise law abiding people say no mas.
