Am I wrong, it just seems like hired guns are posting for the health insurance industry and their politicians?

I am drawing fierce attacks when I suggest we consider the advantages of national public healthcare system instead of private healthcare industry and their political puppets.

Not sure if I've responded . . . but when you have insurance people (like in this category) that explain why it's a bad idea with FACTS, like, well, it doesn't WORK well, there are long lines, and it's extremely expensive - more than private care - AND, it still won't provide coverage for half the uninsured in America now (because they're ILLEGAL), it's not exactly a fierce attack. I can't think of ANY advantages of natiional public health care. *I* don't want the long waits for my turn, *I* don't want my income taxes to triple to pay for it, *I* prefer SOTA medical care, not stuff 5 years old because there isn't any money to pay for the latest machines. People who think national public health care is a good thing, aren't looking CLOSELY at how well it's working in countries that have it - or who is covered, or what they're covered for. They're just thinking, "oh, I get mine for free, who cares about the rest". But it's NOT the same care, and it's NOT free - the costs are just hidden. **I want to add something, about what Pickle said. Inherent in national public healthcare, is healthcare RATIONING - the government interference bit. Here are some real world examples, of the healthcare rationing in Europe: The elderly will get antibiotics, but there's no chemotherapy for anyone over 65. Or hip/knee replacement surgeries for people over 65, or any organ transplants for people over 65. You get pain meds while you're dying of cancer, though. Severely premature babies are left to die. These babies, cost on average $50,000 a day for every week prior to 32 weeks, when they are born early - government's answer is to just not treat them. Overweight people do not get gastric bypass, or other weight loss surgery - they get advice on how to lose weight. People with weight related conditions - like type 2 diabetes, don't get insulin - they get more advice on how to lose weight, and complications related to their weight, like heart issues, are not treated. The way they're going to stay solvent, is by letting the high utilization people - the elderly, the very young, and the very overweight - DIE. Is that the kind of program you're advocating?***
