To be honest, considering the amount of tazes that we are paying in this country, there should be some kind of Government Healthcare. I don't think private healthcare should be illegal, but every other country that pays 50% of it's income in taxes garantees you a right to see a doctor ... and most of these countries have higher life expectancies and lower infant mortality rates than we do - so how bad can the care really be?
We have as high or higher incidences of malpractice here than every other first world country, so the myth that we have the "best care" really is just that. A myth. Most doctors are tools of the pharmaceutical industry.
