Neither the logistics nor the economies of nationalized health care would work in the US, and that's not the bring up the issue of removed private, corporate, incentives.

I honor your debate and oppinion but, you are not giving us any facts as to why you are against it.
Will it cost you more per month or less per month?
Does anyone know?
We need to all walk in each others shoes to really have a judgement on this subject.
I am already on National healthcare and I am OK with it. I get to see a doctor of my choice and get timely appointments.
Medicare has recently cut back on dental maintenance and optomentry.
We all have to pay something on our healthcare. Some can afford more than others. The American family budget was designed for families to pay less than 30% of our wages on housing. I pay 60% or more.
Without Medicare I would not ever be able to afford Health Insurance.
However, some of you may not know this but if you don't have Insurance, there is a thing called sliding scale payment option. I pay 25% of my bill at the doctors office for low income. This is cheaper than the $30 copay
Blue cross offers. Not to mention the $1500 deductable and monthly premiums that went up 42% this year from last year.
