The real numbers here: Healthcare costs in U.S. vs. rest of world.
UK, France and Germany... all have universal health care, the "European-style Socialism" feared by U.S. Conservatives.
Those nations pay less than $4000 per capita for health care. In the U.S. it's nearly $7000 per capita (with over 40 million people falling through the big "not-covered" crack.)
Conservatives in Europe look at America's health care shenanigans and wonder what brand of crack we're all smoking. Universal health care doesn't appear to be offensive to even the most conservative of folk on the other side of the pond.
Let's review:
1) Twice the $$$ per capita goes into the U.S. health care system, but many citizens aren't given access to that health care, and those that do have access/coverage can have it rescinded for any odd reason.
2) Universal health care (UK/France/Germany) costs half as much per capita than the U.S. and no one is refused care.
Now... how exactly is Universal Public Health Care worse?
