see first hand how other countries in the Western World take care of their citizens.

OT: I know how they take care of their citizens. In France they all left on holiday while their parents died of heat stroke a few summers ago. I have a friend in the UK whose mother has cancer and their "public health" won't supply her with a new (expensive) drug treatment that could save her life. When Canadians want the best available medical procedures and want them now, they head for the US border.

Public health works for cuts and bruises, but inevitably necessitates rationing for expensive treatments and/or long term conditions. We'll all kick the bucket eventually, so pick your poison in the meantime..
