How is getting it all free going to protect you from that? Surely someone will be deciding if you are even going to get that. 

All I can say is a free health service which is in crisis is not a fun place to be. It destroys the work morale of the staff and makes it hard to get what you need. I have seen people lined up on trolleys in emergency rooms waiting hours to be seen after waiting for an ambulance. I have had to wait months with  pain for surgery before and have seen people waiting months for an mri scan slot

Then you have to think who will be the Doctor and Nurses boss, who will employ them, how will they get paid and how much? What will be expected of them? Will working conditions make all the good ones leave and go elsewhere?

I do understand your point, just trying to show how it can end up too because if we all had crystal balls it would be easy to choose

I wish you the best in your endeavour to find that

Oh the Canadian system has flaws, but the only advantage I can see from everything here is that if you have the money, you can raise your standard of care in America. If you don't have the money, ur fucked. To me this is just sick. Have a standard, not many standards. 

It really sounds like a lot of "I" thinking instead of we thinking... Sure it sounds great that you can BUY whatever you THINK you need, BUT what about the poor sucker who can't?  Or the person who actually NEEDS instead of THINKING they need? Too bad for them? No empathy at all? Just a nation of psychopaths?

I think it can seem that way for sure, especially from the outside. When I first heard of Obamacare it sounded ok, I think it met little resistance here because it seemed like the system that had been here for many years, it was only recently I realised it actually made healthcare more expensive for a lot of people. 

Maybe with a change in politics, things will have a chance to change for the better.

Obabacare was specifically designed to fail, to "prove" to the populous that "free' healthcare is a failed dream.

They could have made it better, they just didn't want to. If they stopped running around the globe for oil shooting everyone in the way, maybe they could spend a few of those billions on a better healthcare system. Heal some people with that money instead of killing with it.
