all nationalized healthcare leads to is either lower quality for care for more people or sky high taxes or both. now, I am willing to admit that perhaps if Americans wanted to give up ALL the other entitlements and we stopped this nonsense of financially supporting the rest of the world THEN maybe nationalized healthcare might be feasible and not require lower quality for all. You anti-republicans sure don't understand that someone has to pay for this stuff, and you're probably the first to plead to the govt that you can't afford to contribute to it. Democrats don't support nationalized healthcare to help more people, they do it to make more people their slaves and to have unsustainable leverage over any one that may utter the words devastating deficit. in nations with such programs, a woman will often wait months for an MRI (per testimonies of english and canadian women). if I had to wait months for an MRI last year, I'd be dead today!!
