  • my government pays for my healthcare, why doesn't yours?

    can someone tell me just what is so bad about government-funded health care? lets say a person has free/ subsidised healthcare. the money they save on healthcare doesn't just go under the mattress- goes to american companies, their kid's college education, their quality of life. it means they get care when they need it, their employer doesn't pay for unneccessary sick days and we don't all sue each other... which would actually decrease the cost of doctors by decreasing their malpractice insurance.
