You and others on this thread keep referring to socialized medicine when NO ONE is suggesting this be the approach to healthcare in this country. Democrats are searching for ways to expand coverage by using the PRIVATE sector. Republicans are content to leave the system as it is. That is what is going on. Academics, however, look at US healthcare and see virtue in a single-payer system. As a capitalist, I also like a single-payer system because it is a substantially cheaper system...about 30% cheaper. As a capitalist, I like to pay less for things. As an American capitalist, I would also like a cheaper healthcare system so that healthcare costs don't bankrupt people and put a drag on the American economy. It's also important to understand that a single-payer system is not defined as a socialized system. England has a socialized system. Nobody wants to follow their example, not even the English.<gg> You guys conflate all kinds of issues and overcomplicate a very simple debate.
