    It the truth be told, there is a place for federalized health care to insure that everyone seeking

    related services are given not only the protection that they deserve but the quality of health care

    that they deserve. Perhaps that is why so many Fox News minded and GOP / Tea Party members

    of Congress are all pooping their pants in regards to the open exchanges relating to the affordable

    health care law known as Obama Care.

    A mixture works best, as evidenced by European successes. This isn't something new that has never been tried before...we should at least take advantage of the experiences of the rest of the industrialized world that have gone through this experiment decades ago.

    In France, physicians are in private practice but draw their income from the public insurance funds. The WHO rates their program the best in the world, and only 13th most expensive. We are 1st in most expensive, and 37th in quality of care. Are we too stubborn to learn when others have already shown us what works?

    The French program started in 1945, so they have a head start. We better get moving.

    "37th in the world" ?!

    It is the best system in the world. That is why so many come here for it. C'MON!

    The problem is paying for "the best", with a Wal-Mart mentality.

    The American health system is ranked 37th in the world yet they are #1 in expenditure per capita. You tell me what's better? Those of us who have universal health care really don't mind paying more taxes. We don't have to rely on insurance companies. We rely on our doctors.

    Universal Health Care is the way to go, everyone pays, everyone is covered.
