And US citizens are appalled by the UK's system. If these British people don't like it than they can move back to the UK. Basically what I get from what Kyle is saying is that one, he doesn't know what slavery is. "Wage slavery", really? In slavery you were forced to work. Universal healthcare is more like slavery because the government is forcing someone to give away their services. Healthcare isn't a right, if we just start making up rights than I can say I have a right to a home, or food, or a nice car and so on. Another thing I gained was that Kyle seems to like to bash the rich. Who cares if he supposedly owns 3 mansions and has a supermodel wife. The NHS has horror stories as well, as in waiting months for an MRI after seeing multiple doctors and than dying. Anyone who research about it can see that as well. Universal healthcare has problems. Kyle mentions about how UK citizens are confused about insurance plans, well when you are raised in a certain way you would be confused. I have met immigrants who love the US healthcare system. I have met people for Canada and Europe that love the system we have in the US. I have met people who hate what. What we do as a country is try to improve, not copy some other country's system that many problems as well. In the end the US is just different from other countries and we should take pride in that. Universal healthcare simply won't work in the US. We pay more than almost every other country in education but get lackluster results but that is public. To really think that the government offering something is going to improve our situation is a scary thought that we can't have. We should get better, but just asking for handouts or adapting another system that has problems isn't the way.

359 Michaelward Food keeps me alive, so next time I go to the grocery store should I just take what I want and not pay? I need a roof over my head to live, so should I just not pay rent and cry "right to live"? You have a right to pursuit happiness, you don't have a right to other people's services. There are several other necessities in life that I find more important than healthcare, but people are so set on it. It never makes any sense.

359 Michaelward You probably won't get treated in universal healthcare. The US is top 5 in cancer survival rates for a reason.

359 Michaelward And that is great for you and your family. There are horror stories in the UK as in a girl who was complaining about headaches and dizziness. She saw 13 doctors and after a while got an MRI months later. They found a tumor where if they were to give her the MRI sooner she would have lived. She died a few days later. Universal healthcare has problems. I opposed it in the US for a few reasons. One, it is unconstitutional at the federal level (states can establish it if they want), two, why can't the US push for something better? Why can't we be different? Why do we have to follow what every other country does? Both universal healthcare and the US system has problems. The US should push for something better, not settle. And three, it simply won't work in the US. The majority of people still like their healthcare. The US society is different than the UK. The UK are surprised by what goes on in the US because they lived in a different society. I conversed with Canadians who lived in the US and Canada and used both systems and they say just the approach in how Americans act is different. In Canada they get care and leave. In the US the are aggressive in what goes on in the their healthcare and are more involved. They ask questions finding out what is going on, what can be done, how long will it take and so on. We demand a lot and so much that universal healthcare won't work in the US. They couldn't get it to pass in Vermont and that is a state that elected Bernie Sanders.
