Britain has a public/public system which sounded fairly good albeit with some drawbacks. Canada's public/private system also sounded good. The US's private/private system sounded like a real hotbed of corruption of interests with Doctor's wanting to prescribe more expensive treatments in order to get paid more.
Universal health care should save Americans money, money which presumably would be redirected in the economy and probably help the economic downturn.

I agree that healthcare would benefit the economy in the long run but i just can't see it happening in Obama's term as president.
That's all im trying to say. America is broke right now more broke than they have ever been so i kinda hard to believe they would now implement a universal healthcare system.
Really is sad that kids whose parents are broke can't get affordable healthcare in the "greatest country in the world"
