*Loan,banking and credit>>>state insurance

If you are willing to pay premiums to an insurance co.why not to state sponsored health care?

So every needed procedure would be covered for every citizen?

Many insurance companies can refuse to pay for certain procedures based on their guidelines despite a doctors decision.

Let me ask you the converse: if you don't trust private corporations to have monopolies, why do you trust the government to have a monopoly on health care?

What if you were dissatisfied with your government health care system but had nowhere else to turn?

EDIT: To Azawalli and all my friends from Canada, I am happy if you like your health care system. But it is clearly not working for everyone. Read the Canadian Supreme Court decision in Chaoulli v. Quebec, wherein the Canadian Supreme Court held that, given the sometimes life-threatening waiting times for certain medical treatments in Canada, it is a violation of human rights to deny an individual the option of private health care.

Your own Supreme Court found the health care system inadequate to the point of being violative of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Below is a quote from the decision:

"The evidence in this case shows that delays in the public health care system are widespread, and that, in some serious cases, patients die as a result of waiting lists for public health care. The evidence also demonstrates that the prohibition against private health insurance and its consequence of denying people vital health care result in physical and psychological suffering that meets a threshold test of seriousness.

"Where lack of timely health care can result in death, the [Section 7] protection of life is engaged; where it can result in serious psychological and physical suffering, the [Section 7] protection of security of the person is triggered. In this case, the government has prohibited private health insurance that would permit ordinary Quebeckers to access private health care while failing to deliver health care in a reasonable manner, thereby increasing the risk of complications and death. In so doing, it has interfered with the interests protected by [Section 7] of the Canadian Charter."

Please read the entire case and then decide whether you trust your health care system to attend to your medical needs in the long term.

Agreed. Between myself and my family I am spending around $600 a month on health care out of my payroll and copays (which comes directly out of my checking account). When I worked for the federal govt we were all covered for significantly less and received much better and more personalized care.
BINGO!! Perfectly put...My meds cost me 120 buck DAILY...If we had a universal system, the Med Companies could research the new drugs, put them on the market and be reimbursed by the system, so I would pay 10 bucks instead!!
what makes you thing the government can do it better? have you ever been to the BMV???
Many people cannot pay for major health care and many insurance companies will not carry them. Under UHC all can be seen but the wait would be very long.
I don't really see the difference either.
Government does an abysmal job of managing health care. I wouldn't give them a dime.
