Anyway, I want to leave it open ended so you all can say your peace. For my US colleagues, my intention is not to have this turn into a debate on weather a public option should be implemented. It's a contentious topic in the states and I don't want to go there here.

For a lot of us Europeans we just don't understand why everyone wouldn't want, and insist upon free healthcare. I, myself, can't understand why there's even a debate on the matter to begin with. Shouldn't free health care be a guaranteed human right by now, and shouldn't failure to provide that care cause outrage? Or am I just naive?
