"So I asked you a question so that perhaps you could explain why what works in Great Britain is impossible here "

I didn't say impossible. What I am saying, is that what works in another country, won't necessarily work the same here. There are a lot of variables, we are very different from most places, in terms of numbers, demographics, socioeconomics.

Does Great Britain have somewhere around 12 million illegal Mexicans living there, who are draining the system? Do they have massive urban areas of poverty, places like Bridgeport, Chicago, the projects of LA and NYC? I don't know. But you need to ask those questions, before you say "it works in Britain, therefore it will work here."

There's that, too. How well it "works" in Britain, can be debated.

I have yet to see any country say we should emulate the American health care system
We spend double what most developed countries do on health care
It could change but not as long as we say it’s too complicated and we need to study it more
Meanwhile the lobbyists running the government make sure to rape us on every facet of medical care
Look at what NAFTA 2.0 did to generic drug prices

I'd love to see a list of governmental and non-governmental agencies and services addressing the problems of "those in need"...might out number those actually in need :biglaugh:

"I have yet to see any country say we should emulate the American health care system "

No one, and I mean NO ONE, is saying that our current system, is ideal. So once again, you are responding to something that no one has ever said.

"We spend double what most developed countries do on health care "

NO ONE disagrees that it's way too expensive.

Well, I said I didn't know how to address it. I do know, that letting the feds do it, is not the way to go.
