Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[PaulP]

Healthcare is not a commodity to be bought and sold by the wealthiest.  The further a country heads down the 'user pays' road, the more likely that social division and anarchy will escalate.

The reason this country has a relatively harmonious society is because people get taken care of.  Many would argue the care is too generous, but the alternative of a US-style fend-for-yourself system brings a bigger set of problems IMHO.

I agree, but beware the small government, cost cutting, neo liberal types, who have been slowly but surely whittling away at this "being taken care of" for decades.
