Have you ever lived in a country with socialized medicine?

Why are you so afraid of it?

I think its great that when you are truly sick or injured, it doesn't put you in the 'poor house'. If I had to pay for all the medical care and drugs that I needed in the last five years, I would be homeless. Luckily, the govt. paid for my medical expenses and I am back to work and living a healthy life.

I am truly grateful for a compassionate government system that doesn't let the pharmaceutical companies gouge us when we are in the most need. I am also grateful for the doctors and nurses who truly believe in healing the sick and aren't consumed by their love of money.

I gladly pay taxes that help pay for the medical care of all citizens. I am expecially grateful that my tax dollars are not used to create war and death and destruction. Its really just a matter of priorities and its obvious that your priority is not the health of your nation.
