Universal health care?

How come so many people are against it here in America when it seems to work so well in other countries?

    Universal health care is very expensive and it tries to control cost by limiting services to people, many times to the person's detriment. France just raised it taxes to 75%. I'll take our current system over limited services, non-medical panels deciding what you can and can't have, increased taxes and the Government, which never has been able to run a Business, running this.

    Because they are uneducated about it. Canada France even Cuba has universal health care and it works great there. There is no reason any American in this rich country shouldn't be able to afford a doctor.

    To the people who don't think it works look at other countries and do research not just listen to what politicians say

    Universal health care works if you there isn't anything seriously wrong with you such as the flu. Where it fails is when you need something serious such as a transplant, surgery, or even an MRI. You will die on a waiting list b4 u get what you need

    They prefer corporate death panels instead of government ones.
