Where do you get this from? I talk to people all the time with actual and current experience of "socialized medicine". Canadians, Brits, Swedes, Germans....I could go on. I've never ever heard of anything like the horrors described by americans who oppose the system. Instead all these socialists seem happy with what they have and they get even happier when they compare it to our mess.

Be honest now. Is a health care system that routinely forces entire families out of their homes and into personal bankruptcy something to be protective and proud about? It's totally unacceptable in the rest of the civilized world so I'm trying to figure out why we think it's ok for decent americans to have their lives destroyed by the misfortune of having an accident or a heart attack.
