Healthcare/comparison to other countries

one hear's all kinds of rumours on healthcare, obama and all. one i have heard is relation to healthcare and his plans where he will turn the USA to more of a socialist view. ive not researched the healthcare plan, so I admit, i'm ignorant of the details; however the overall thought in relation to the rumor is: what's so bad about more people being covered? yes, taxes may go up on other people, however, say if their children who are trying to get a job and have no money at the moment can't afford insurance, at least if there was a govn't run healthcare plan at least they could be covered... it may not be the greatest but at least its something.

I know there are downfalls on both sides of the coin. From experience, I have been in countries such as the UK and Singapore and I couldnt afford insurance, but it was a nice feeling to know that I'm covered. yea, long lines, maybe not the best doctors, long wait to have a procedure done, but in the end at least those who are striving for the best can be covered.

Any thoughts?
