I say a more Canadian system will work but it will require dismantling HMO completely. And that is gonna be just shy of impossible. But if it was done, it would be better. When I go to the hospital or a family member does, we never need to worry about if we are covered or being unable to pay for what needs done. Hell, the only thing my dad had to choose to pay for when he had a double hernia surgery is if he wanted tv in his room at a dollar a day (since he only spent 48 hours in the hospital and half of that was recovery, he decided against it). I have to say I am curious where you stand on this, Piper.

They shouldn't 'force' universal healthcare on the American people, but they should implement it to better their lives. Same with education, as Nagito said. If you don't want it for whatever reason, then you shouldn't have sign up for it kicking and screaming, and paying for it yourself, or better medical treatment available elsewhere, is a fine option for those that can afford as such and want to do so. However, preventing your children from having access to such things based on whatever political views you hold is tantamount to child abuse. If you can't afford these things for your children, but insist they can't have such benefits due to some ideology of yours, then you ought to be punished relative to the damage you do to their life.

Chrome Favourite Manga One Piece	Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that doctors deserve high pay, I'd say it should be free and available to everyone(obvious statement of the year). But I wonder if it would be possible for hospitals to be government-paid, completely avoiding the pockets of the people?

People either don't understand what it actually is, or they're so far down the rabbit hole when it comes to hating Socialism and anything even remotely 'left' that they'd fight tooth and nail against it, even if they'd benefit greatly from it.

I ♥ Yoeri Posts: 20,075 Group: Legend Member #8,985 Joined: February 7, 2013 Country Japan	It should be implemented, but people fail to see that's what Obama was working on. Trump called it a complete failure, but was it really? The ACA was a good solution to the Universal Health Care from what I can hear from people who were dependant on it. Trump better be prepared to hold his promise and give them something "better", which would be free healthcare. But how in blazes could they work that out?

But I wonder if it would be possible for hospitals to be government-paid, completely avoiding the pockets of the people? I mean, aren't police and firefighters government-paid in the US? That seems to work, as does a healthcare system set up that way in multiple other countries. The only reason you're questioning whether it would work is because you live in a country where it isn't that way, so it seems like it couldn't work. I think the question is less 'would it work?' and more 'would the people who matter, in regards to putting something like that into action, want it to work?'. The American healthcare system makes a lot of people rich and it's one less thing for the government to pay out for/raise taxes. I don't live in America so I don't really have a strong opinion about it, but I think universal healthcare should be something that every country instates. People shouldn't have to be worrying about being put into debt because of an accident, or not going to the GP/hospital for something that they need to have addressed because they can't afford it.
