    I can’t believe I’m reading this. Obviously universal healthcare is not without flaws, and there are many variations on the theme. Some work better than others.

    But for a developed, “rich” country not to provide it to their citizens is a crime. Of course, the people most affected by the lack of healthcare are they working poor, while middle class people are generally insulated by employer-provided insurance, and the rich naturally have the best health care on the planet.

    I think that this is another case of the majority of Americans not being able to conceive what life outside the greatest country in the worldTM is like. Ask anyone from another country if they would prefer us-style healthcare, and you will get a resounding “NO!”
