#1 Universal government mandated and funded health care does not work. Period.

I wonder if Mikey Moore will add this bit to his new movie?

#2 Postcode lottery of care? But the moneyed already go to private practitioners and pay out of pocket for their care. Only the little people get rationed NHS care and two-year waits for urgent surgery. It was the same in Germany. Our American health insurance company sent us to private doctors saw us right away... and charged lots more. My girlfriend married to a local man had to schedule GP appointments six months out.

#3 The American version, Hillary Care, will prohibit private health care provision; all care will go through the system so as to prevent the 'wealthy' from receiving 'unfair' health benefits. Of course government officials will have their own system because they are more equal than everybody else.

#7 "Extortion funded treatment rationing"

It subsidises poor health choices and is funded by punishing successful people.

Socialism KILLS
