I am breathing just fine, it is your thinking that seems to have fallen victim to oxygen deprivation.
Your premises are false, and your conclusion is nothing more than a self serving, anti-government OPINION. This type of logic is called a "fallacy".
Vitually every other Democracy in the world, both East (Taiwan, Japan, etc.) and West (Canada, GB, France, etc.) has publically funded healthcare on one form or another, and they are spending on average about 1/2 per capita the amount that we are spending in the US, and the quality of their healthcare is becoming superior, if not better already. Hell, even Cuba has a superior system to us right here in North America.
You are the one that needs to wake up.
