Healthcare for All?

While UK Citizens struggle with the unintended consequences of a Socialist approach to Medicine,
USA Citizens fight each other, one proclaims “Healthcare For All” “Government Run Healthcare” “Medicare for All”
The Status Quo in USA is Public and Private Insurance.
Some Government controlled:
Medicare benefits of aged and disabled workers,
Medicaid: State run benefits for poor and children with special health needs
Private: Commercial Insurance and HMO plans, Employer sponsored Or Self insured individuals
Private Pay: no insurance. Several reasons: can’t afford, Preexisting conditions make premiums unaffordable,
May be Irresponsible, lazy, sick, depressed, didn’t think they’d get sick
Last the Non Profit Hospitals under Hill Burton Act must provide some free care in order to maintain their Non Profit status.
Some people in USA say we should just let The Government run this.
I feel like our system is working as well as it can at the moment.
Incremental changes to insure a safety net.
Mandate free care provision in non profit healthcare systems.
Just don’t let the Government take care of you.
We can’t afford that.
About a Questionnaire study of the Diagnosis-Treatment-Outcomes comparison,
Might want to do a worldwide study.
Don’t forget Serbia where patients get the Least.

Here’s the article that started my thoughts ruminating...
