Your statement proves my point, headline readers! The government crutch is always introduced by the use of fear! Sweetie I promise you if you ever have a life or death situation there are people who will do everything they can to get you your kidney, heart, liver whatever you need. There are plenty of private donation programs out there. I am an organ donor. I know there are horror stories about people not getting organs and such, but that happens even in countries with universal health care.
Not sure if you've ever had to make an extended stay in the hospital. Insurance companies will ALWAYS try to get you to stay less time, will always try to push against tests, and will always try and save a buck.

I've had the top of the line BlueCross/BlueShield insurance since college. I had to spend 2 nights in the hospital and the insurance company threatened to not pay for the 2nd night because they didn't feel it was necessary. I was just listening to what my doctors thought was best. It took a couple months of fighting with them to finally get them to pay for a portion of it.

I'm not saying I support national healthcare, but saying that insurance companies don't tell doctors what to do is just being blind to our current healthcare system.
