You normally don't see me responding to threads like this, but I am pretty passionate about this topic and want to see friends and family in the US have better healthcare than they do.
Since I've had the benefit of using the US health system and the Australian/New Zealand systems, I think I may be able to shed some light on this subject.

I beg to differ on this point. Find me a some information that shows the US health care is better than anywhere else in the world? It is not true. They may have one of the most advanced, or the best looking hospitals, but in terms of care it isn't. Many people suffer in the US because they can't afford the hospital bills.
I love this socialized medicine debate. You guys should abolish veteran health care, because thats just socialized medicine too and those veterans are just getting a free ride from your socialist policy's!
I live in a country where health care is free. Sure it's not perfect, but I'm not going to be forced to work a job I hate because I need the health care from it and I'm not going to put off an operation because I can't afford it, also some share holders are not going to profit from my misfortune.

Believe it or not but workers comp exists in other places in the world not just the US.
I will agree Moores documentary is very bias and doesn't give all the facts. But you guys need to put down your rosy colored glasses. I know people putting off operations in the US because they can't afford it. This should not be happening in any health care system. In terms of caring for those that can't afford it, the US is many years behind most other modern country's. Everybody has a right to health care and it is therefore logical for the government to set down minimum standards of care available to all.
