Well, I'm covered by the US government's socialized health care system...called the Department of Veterans Affairs. Leaving aside the issue of underfunding for all of the new disabled veterans Bush's War is creating, which will be dealt with (hopefully) by the incoming administration, it does its job well. Patients get excellent care (although the wait time, especially for an unscheduled outpatient visit, can be excessive) and prescriptions cost $12 for 3 months, whatever the medication is (gotta watch that - you can end up paying $12 for something you can buy for $5 over-the-counter).

I also worked for the VA medical system for over 22 years, mostly in Human Resources, so I have personal knowledge of the quality of the staff, their concern for patients, and the professional oversight they receive...and for how quick the boom can be lowered if these are absent. The VA's major problem is a lack of money to hire enough people and to renovate/replace/augment the existing infrastructure (that's also the problem on the benefits side, with its 18-month lag for claims), which can be pointed directly at the Bush Administration's refusal to submit adequate budget requests.
