We keep hearing about all these other countries with different Government involved systems.

Canada has a system and it works fine. [according to whom? But that is a different discussion.]
England has a different system.
France has a different system
Germany has a different system
Japan has a different system
Switzerland has a different system

If we go universal health care we will cover over 350 million people, and our population is growing.
ALL THOSE OTHER COUNTRIES TOGETHER, have a total, diminishing, population of 368.2 million. 6 different systems, each fraught with its own problems, to cover essentially what we would have to cover going in. And ours is growing.
Why is our population growing when all those longer life expectancy countries are shrinking?

Our present Government health care systems, Medicare/caid, VA are all unsustainable and bankrupt NOW! They ONLY function because they HAVE the private for profit health care system to succor from.
