Absolutely not! Universal health care is not the answer simply because it is not efficient and does not provide, you, the patient with the best care. Sure it sounds like a great idea. Who wouldn't want a health care "blanket" covering everyone, where everyone's tax dollars would go towards helping everyone with their health care needs. It's too bad it just doesn't work that way. Instead, your hard earned tax dollars would go toward funding an inefficient, ineffective health care system that only guarantees that everyone will get inadequate care; unless your one of the few who can spare an extra few bucks to get a better doctor or an earlier surgery time. Then where does that leave us? Let's face it, when is the last time that the government ever got anything right? And you're willing to give them even more money to take control over our health care system when they can't even manage the infrastructure in this country? Our government was put in place with a system of checks and balances so that nothing can ever be done efficiently and that was done on purpose. I just don't see us putting all of our faith in that system to run health care in America being a good idea. Now I do believe that health care needs to be regulated by the government just like any business so that it doesn't get out of control, but I believe that the only way we can receive quality and efficient health care is to keep it privatized. I'm not saying that our system now isn't flawed because it is. However, I still think it's a good system that just needs to be improved upon.
