Thats good to hear, that your experience is similar to my own - universal health care should have been recognized as a human right, and not just something that some country have access too.. I have never understood the concept that some are floating around about privatize all the public utilize - including hospitals and then let everyone fend for them self..
And it most be devastating to say at least - to know when you get out of the hospital - you will be presented with a big bill for medical attention - who should be a part of everyones rights as human... And I hope also that the US one day, in not to distant future - can be given access to the same universal health care we both share. But I guess it cost to be the biggest, meanest military machine in the world... Just think what the US could have been doing if they had slash the Pentagon budget 40 percent - and given the money to found a universal health care system - and to many other things that need to be repaired in the US alone... The Pentagon would still be one of the biggest, meanest military machines in the world - but they maybe had to cut back on all the more exotic weapons they are spending billions on at the moment - Weapons that maybe never will be used....
