I don't see why it can't provide national healthcare similar to the NHS. Obamacare seems to be a step in the right direction, but why arse it up with it being insurance based? Surely it can be provided with taxation alone?
Over here they only give free healthcare depending on your financial status. If you've a bit of money, prepared for a world of pain in terms of costs. Even if you are poor, recent changes means that they have to pay for drug collection levies from chemists, dental appointments after so many visits a year etc.
Not to mention the healthcare here is atrocious (one of the lowest in Europe), with understaffed hospitals that are often really crowded, ill equipped and the number of them being too small (and getting smaller still due to the incompetent government giving a horribly small budget to healthcare) to serve the amount of people needed.
As much as people complain about the NHS over in the UK, it's a FAR better system. It's a shame to see the Tories trying to privatise it, especially with the amount of people who rely on it.
