Unless you live in ghetto type areas, your chances of ever being around gun violence is very slim. Even hearing a gunshot in your neighborhood is something that just doesn't happen.

Public education in the US is just fine. The issue is that school funding comes from local tax dollars. They put tax referendums on the voting ballots, and certain areas vote them down year after year. So their local school system never improves. That's not to mention the kids in these areas are not interested in learning anyway.

This one I'll agree with you on, but the US would have a serious problem in paying for it. The people who need it the most would never be able to carry their share of the tax burden. The lower class and Mexican illegals would contribute almost nothing in funding such a plan. It would be the people who currently have insurance that would pay for the system to work. And chances are, the taxes to fund the system would be higher than their current insurance rates. I think the tipping point for public health in the US is the illegal Mexicans. You take them out of the picture and it probably works.
