    We already pay for it in our taxes. Congress and senate have the best health care in the world paid by tax payers. It is a right of all humans because we all contribute to medical research with out taxes. Plus when there is a new discovery it is given to a corporation,patented as their own and only the wealthy have the money to pay for those meds or treatments. When we all have contribute public money to its research.

    I call God who has given man the privilege of discovery so it is supposed to benefit all. But is you are an unbeliever you now that nature is the one who provides the opportunity for discovery. We are all humans and we still give our pets better health care. Why not to humans.

    Because public health care offers up stability i.e it wont go out of business. Also people dont have to put their economic situation ahead of health. People can go to the doctor without having to worry about financial repricussions. The only thing i dont like is that private health care has less wait times and also private health care tends to be better quality. Often times people go from Canada to the U.S to avoid wait times for things like cat scans. Sometimes waits in Canada can be up to 6 months or more while you can drive to Buffalo and get treated that day.
