Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) faced a slightly more confusing version of this question and gave a slightly more confusing answer that indicated support for keeping certain parts of the health care system private.

Yeah, theirs................

My wife had to go to the hospital in Spain. They took her in while I tried to do the paperwork. When they finally took me back, it was in a huge open bay ward with about 30 beds side by side. Look like something out of MASH, with family members around each bed.

When the doctors came to give a diagnosis, the room would get quiet so everyone could hear what the doctor was saying in their “private conversations with the patients.

That’s social medicine - literally ...

America’s Medicaid and Medicare programs are, IMHO, effectively impossible to reform. The massive entrenched government and private interests will never allow serious change

So what should be done in the USA - allow states and counties to establish medical free-trade zones. Allow doctors to set up in particular areas, allow low or no income tax, limited liability, and cash payments.

We will need a secondary system to back up the expensive, failing, legacy systems.

The glaring problem with this article and every article on Healthcare for all AKA Government controlled healthcare is they always try to explain how well it work her or there as if that means it will work the same way in the United States. That is simply nonsense. For example take several nations used in this article. Australia, Canada, England, Netherlands and Israel. Not one of these country’s have a population over 60 million people. The United States has over 325 million people spread of a much larger land mass then most of these smaller population countries. What may seem to work in a smaller nation of 17 million people is very unlikely to work the same way in a much larger nation with 325 million people.
