-The gov't will make sure NONE of us have decent healthcare.-No sure that's the intention, but that is definately the result that will come about. Once the govenrnment is responsible for your life, what are the odds that they decide to cut spending? Healthcare is a privilege, not a right. In the same way that food is not a right. Everyone must pull their own weight.

wtf just buy more MRIs and stop giving appointments to MRIs to people who don't need them, this is much more fixable then all the problems with the way the US does it

In the NHS (UK) all patients with a suspected cancer are referred to a specialist within two weeks. The rural county I live in has at least 5 MRI machines covering 800K people. No waiting weeks for scans here. As a healthcare professional I would feel safer in the NHS than in the local private hospitals. If you want to skip the insignificant wait the NHS hospitals also provide private care, but you get the same treatment.The NHS is not perfect but I would take it over the US system anytime.
