No way. The Kool Aid drinkers on the left need to wise up. You guys are so in love with the idea of governmental control of every aspect of our lives that you are dismissing the real impact of your ill-conceived policies.
Well hell yes, I want that. Canada and the UK are not half as crappy as a US system where we have millions and millions uninsured or not able to get health care, where healthcare prices are skyrocketing out of control in an industry that is 1/6 of our national economy and healthcare is dictated by private companies who are financially disincentivized from providing their services to sick people, and we stand 39th in the world in quality of care.

No way. You Kool Aid drinkers on the right need to wise up. You guys are so in love with the idea of zero government influence on everything that you are dismissing the real impact of your ill-conceived policies.
