I think Free Health Care should be given to those who can't actually afford it. If you can how ever CAN and refuse to, then you shouldn't get jack shit. But I believe Health Care if done incorrectly can destroy our current system, and possibly drive up the cost of it. Mother fuckers who can barely afford it now can't afford another rise in it. Government Health Care must be done to insure it doesn't go the way of Canada.
In Canada, since the free health care is the main thing, you normally have to wait 6 months in order to see your doctor after a follow up for a test. Because the flow of traffic is so huge. As such I believe The government if they are going to push for a Universal Health Care package, Must Insure that Doctors won't be over flowed with new people. They should include new Dispensers, new programs for people to learn how to become a Health Care officials for these dispensers. These dispensers can be cheap and affordable and should be placed in zones were people who don't have health care live.
This would help protect the private sector, and hopefully prevent over-flow. With this new plan they must also include a way to make a transition from public to private sector health. This way if Public can't offer a service, then they can be referred to a private sector. Government help can help pay for the Private Sector fee, just a minor help. Payment plans can be brought up with each case. etc.
Also their should be a STRICT set of rules and practices so this health care system doesn't get abused... I know mother fuckers would try and use The Public to Private thing in order to get plastic surgery. They did the shit with Katrina Victims, and their help program, They'll do it to anything.
but I doubt this will happen. Chances are a health care system will be drawn up, that will be poorly designed, won't protect doctors, citizens, or private sectors and just be a drain on the economy and current health care.

I could go into detail, but in summary: its fucked.
Americans don't like change even if that change won't necessarily affect you, but it will affect others positively. The majority of America prefers to be dicked around by insurance companies by paying high premiums for insurance that doesn't even cover most major procedures.
On the flip side, Obama's plan is full of loopholes and flaws that may end up doing a lot of harm before it does good just based on some of the summaries I have read about it. Plus, there's a major shortage of doctors and medical staff in general and health care for all will make overworked health care providers even more overworked.
At least somebody is trying to do something unlike the last administration. Hopefully, it will be the right thing.

Where the hell did you hear that? That's craziness. I've never (nor have I know of anyone) had to wait more than a few days.

It was a study they had done. A women who could potentially have cancer had to wait 6 months cause the Doctors office was full in order to hear the results. Its not the entire health care, but their are areas were their is not that many doctors and as such they get over run with long waits. I think someone posted it on youtube.
