Socialized medicine is better than no health care at all.At least i know i can go to the doctor and not have to worry about how much is this going to cost me.I can go get surgery and not have to take a second morgage on my home to pay for it.When my kids get sick they can go to a doctor.Sure some smokers get picked on but smokers all over the world are being treated like leapers,you cant smoke here you cant smoke there but i think thats good even though im a smoker it makes the next generation think twice about this disgusting habit that kills.Anyway socialized medicine works and it has been working for centuries all over the world.
