Sajhamitra, on your last paragraph you did imply that the US system is better than that of other countries, did you not? And looks like Fox news have fed you bunch of BS about universal health care. I don't know how it works in Canada, but in Germany and France you don't have to wait. It is no surprise that France is ranked number 1 by World Health Organization and not US. Having the best hospitals and doctors don't make the health care system best if it is not accessible to more than half the citizen. Only some very few rich people with millions and billions want to come to the US to get cured. But again it looks like you have believed all the lies they feed you in the US media.

You said "If I am making 100K/Year by working with my a$$ off then I certainly wants better healthcare than those people who do not work or who work 20K/Year." With argument like this, it is not surprise that the US does not have a universal health care system. No one cares about what you want and don't want. But a leader of a nation would want to have healthy citizens. A leader of a nation does not want his citizens to go bankrupt because of their health. Thank god, the guy who made education free in the US until high school did not think like you. Otherwise those who make less than 20K like you said would not be able to send their kids to schools.

Tell me what you think of this situation. A friend of mine who worked as a waiter had his mother sick. She had many health problems and her insurance stopped paying after a while since it was costing them a lot. My friend did not have much money to pay for his mom's health. So one day he confided in me with tears in his eyes that it is much better if his mom died. Think about it. Are we in the richest nation on earth or are we in a poor country with no system of any kind to help its citizen. And trust me, this situation would have never occured in any of the countries I mentioned above.
