Yeah well, that's maybe an over active imagination. The best healthcare systems in the world (with respect to quality, and quantity of people getting it) are public health systems. So I dunno, I'd rather have the (functioning democratic) government, a body I actually have a stake in be in charge of health as opposed to a body that it's only duty is to it's share holders. As I see it, a governmental body is (should be) something we all have equal share in independent of our financial situation. I'm quite aware to the ways this body could malfunction. But at least we have a moral footing to work against these malfunctions. With a public/private company as long as it makes money, I have no moral grounds to oppose it ruining my and our lives.

In Europe the most terrifying words you can hear are "We're gonna switch to a US style health system."

I heard enough about the Amercan health system to be eternally grateful to the one I have in France.

I made my tax declaration this month.

I made it with a smile.

You will say that if you live in the US, try living in some other developed countries with free healthcare, you will change your mind.
