Here's a list of countries and life expectancy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy
You'll notice life expectancy in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Norway, Canada, Denmark and Spain is longer than in the US and they all have government medical. So even with all the stories about waiting lists and no money for supplies and no money for research and all the other propanganda espoused by the greedy people involved in making money off the sick the citizens in those countries are living longer and isn't that what it's all about, living?
It is just a lie that people die in Canada waiting for healthcare, my Canadian relatives and friends laugh at myths like this! You may have to wait or your boob job, but that won't kill you. My son in law HATES ths USA system of health care.
