Being in the UK, I am also a recipient of a socialist, commie-loving, universal health-care system as well...and it's great. Waiting lists for the most trivial procedures are now about a month or so and no-one is turned away at the door - it's illegal and unthinkable. The option of privatisation here isn't really an option but the only question is one of how to deal with finite resources catering for an expanding population.
If this particular battle is lost due to the hacks which pass as Fox News, then that's a far bigger tragedy as any fake-cancer woman not being denied non-emergency treatment in my view.
