Who says I think the armed invasion was a good idea? We sure as hell shouldnt have done that either. Its put us trillions in the hole and got us very little.

In every government observed healthcare system - the health of the patient is preffered over the cost of the treatment.

Bullshit it is. Look at all the stories now about people having to sue NHS in britain because the government doesnt want the expense of keeping their family members on life support. The cost of medical treatment is skyrocketing in britain to the point where they are trying to pay obese people to exercise. Their system is in a big decline, and people are getting less healthy every day.
If you really want to end up with a government bureaucrat assigning a dollar value to your life, then making a judgement call on whether you should get your treatment or not, by all means, continue forward with UHC.

Which apparently doesn't happen in the States, although the costs per capita are higher than anywhere else.
This once again ridiculously simplifies the problem.[/QUOTE]
