My broken back, failed diagnosis, metal pieces protruding from my molar roots, and zero ability to have the Government fix the problems it created I'll pass on the idiotic idea that the Federal Government can effectively provide meaningful health care. And let's talk about buying glasses for my kids on Medicaid, through my private insurance they can get any glasses they want, but on Medicaid they get to choose from the "special drawer" section of ugly glasses.
Let's talk about baby Charlie and the Socialized system where parents were not permitted to pay for potentially life saving health care for their own child because the Government death panel decided otherwise. Let's talk about the VA hidden waiting lists and dead veterans because socialized medicine failed to provide them any care.
Our Crony capitalist system is broken I get that, but a communist system has never worked out long term, anyone advocating for Federally controlled healthcare needs a history lesson.

Let's also look at women who died of breast cancer because they could not MRI's before the cancer metastasized, or could not get first tier cancer drugs. Let's talk about the delays for total joint surgery in Canada that are so long those that can afford to flee to the US to have the surgery in a timely fashion. Even a governor of providence in Canada came to the US to have joint replacement.

This is how it should have been done in the first place. And any plan open to us, must also include congress and the military.
