For those that keep mentioning other, public health care systems, with long waiting lists, please remember that in each case one does have the choice of buying into private health insurance. By doing so one effectively goes to the head of the line, bypassing the waiting list.
Why should it be any different in the USA?
That way the rich can continue to receive the premium care they enjoy today and the insurance compaines can continue to turn a massive profit just as they do in all these other countries that provide public health care. The difference would be that the middle class, working poor and really poor would have some possibility of receiving decent health care for things other than immediate life threatening emergencies.
Best of both worlds one would think?
