I have had a chance to speak with quite a few people who spent some time living in a country with universal healthcare, and not a single one would give it up or think that the American system is better. Or even acceptable, for that matter. Public healthcare does not mean lack of private healthcare.

I’ve heard Canadians complain about the lack of private options awhile back, but I think even that is solved now.



Yes, I have never met anybody who has actually lived in a country with universal healthcare and in the US who didn't believe that the US system is an insane nightmare. There maybe be problems with individual systems but the US is by far the worst.
