Welcome to Dem Land

I don't understand what you are talking about. How is universal health care an "empty promise"? Every other major country on the Earth has it except us. People are dying and going bankrupt with our shitty health care system. The insurance industry is getting rich off the backs of sick people. The politicians who say we can't have it are taking bribes from insurance and drug companies. God forbid we live in a socialist hell hole like Sweden or Canada.

Universial "free" healthcare sounds good in theory,but according to these links it does not seem to be working very well.

U.K. Healthcare is also having serious issues.

To say we need to model our healthcare systems against others does not appear to be the answer,and people seem to dieing at a greater rate waiting for care.

I recently paid $450 cash for a lower back MRI where my friend with health insurance was charged $1850 using his insurance company for the exact same thing.

People look at it as free healthcare,it is not free because it is taken out in taxes so you do not see it and the results are the same,a percentage that pay taxes are paying for those who do not,when the ratio of those that cannot pay climbs,either the tax increases on those who can pay or the leval of service declines for all.
