ABCNews: World News with Charles Gibson / Homeless Man-Turned Health Care Provide
Indications are that the US should be bold enough to take the step forward with their change and scrap the current not good, monstrous system and replace it with a customized first class Universal health care system that is open to all irregardless of their income. A system that is already in place in other democratic countries that has already proven itself. All the hype and screams in the debates can be compared to children scared to jump into a pool and swim like the others are already doing

Meanwhile, those in democratic government regulated health care systems, with some countries where the citizens pay a small percentage of their income or with some countries where payment is already included in the system may be grateful that they have equal full access to all the first class services with dignity, with no paper work, with little wait time to some (minimal) wait time at any time in receiving services and being able to do so at any place with no one denying them what is, in their country, taken as their basic rights with the government regulated system. It would be unthinkable, I believe, in each of these countries, the denial of coverage to each and every one irregardless of their health history or income. It may be thought as a humanitarian basic need to preserve life at any cost with no thought as to cost to anyone, not the doctors and specialits, facilities, treatments that are needed, diagnostic tools such as imaging/x-rays, tests, etc nor to the patients while treating all fairly through fair compensation and through support ie the doctors having a fair market value pay scale and through support if there is a law suit and as for the patients, in having the security of knowing that they have quality health care no matter what. All of this should not be taken for granted.
