My friend Emily lasted less than a year on the UK system. She had an aggressive Breast Cancer and died last fall because of all the queues and butt scratching.

I have known several people with different types of cancer, myself included (thyroid) and with or without insurance they have never had to "wait" for treatment in the US. Are you saying in UK they make you wait months for treatment of any kind, even if its life threatening? In US you will get treatment but then you'll spend the rest of your life trying to pay for it and if your unable they will then come and attach any future income and take your house if your aren't able to pay.

Hundreds of millions of Americans havce no health care insurance. And they are forced to go to Hospitals Emergency Rooms to get treatment after it is to late to help your wife/mom. And with the hospitals budgets being so bad they turn away the people seeking their last chance.

My Mom was told she had to wait 3 months to have a carcinoma removed and she lives right here in your "no wait health care system" America. Wake up missy.

Which country are you talking about? I guess you mean socialized medicine. In some countries you may be right. For Canada there was a reported wait time of 24 hours on average from request to treatment for radiation therapy. For breast cancer surgery it was 16 days on average. Here in the US it varies. Often were faster but its not uncommon to have a long wait for a surgical appointment depending on ones insurance provider. In fact a 70 day wait isn't uncommon. The point is moot though because we are not talking about instituting socialized medicine (right now at least). Even if 100% of congress and the president wanted it we simply can't shift our huge medical establishment to a socialized format over night or in a year or in 10 years for that matter. Your talking about an industry that has hundreds of thousands of professional workers many of whom have high salaries and expensive life styles. The medical industry has tens of thousands of installations. Hospitals, clinics, medical supply companies, pharmaceutical companies, medical research labs, teaching hospitals, and the list goes on. Now imagine the job of replacing all of that with a government agency. The owners of those thousands upon thousands of businesses are not just going to give them to the government no matter what law is passed. The doctors and nurses and researchers and so on are not just going to go to work for 1/4 or less of their pay no matter who tells them too. Many simply can't afford too. No one is going to socialize medicine in the US any time soon. Its a pipe dream and our government knows it. Whats more they are not really trying too. That's a myth. They have a better chance of getting Jesus to come and heal all of the sick than converting the US to socialized medicine in Obama's maximum of two terms. When you hear someone say Obama's going to socialize our health care system feel free to laugh in their face. The best he could pull off is too make a universal insurance provider and even that is impossible to do quickly and probably won't happen in his term. No matter how good or not our health care system is, there is no hiding or denying that it is over priced ( the most expensive on average on Earth by a large margin). I have heard the saying "what price can you put on health and life?" Well in the US our answer is pretty much everything you own or will ever own unless your richer than a small country. Assuming you live how great is life in a refrigerator box anyway?

If she has to wait, it won't make him look good. Canada's people die for cancer often over that. Looks like shit to us from here. Murder in fact.
