Honestly, this country is so big...there is plenty going on here to keep me occupied just trying to keep up with it. Unlike the EU, where you're countries are small and close togetherm we are not used to interacting or driving easily to another country. If you don't get that kind of exposure growing up, you really do kind of live in an isolated world. I rarely hear much going on outside the US, and I've never really had much need to do so.

Do you really think the medical industry wants to work without reaping the rewards for their hard labor? We're not talking about a non-profit religion. We are talking about JOBS. When you remove the incentive to work hard, people often cut back on the quality of their services or jump ship to another career all together.

Unless you plan on holding a gun to a doctors head and enslaving them to indentured servitude, it's not going to be better than a privatized system either. Even then, I still wouldn't trust the system.
