Decent, affordable health care in this country is a myth and because of this thousands of people die every year from easily preventable illnesses. Now I believe that keeping a significant portion of this country alive and healthy is an important matter of domestic security and as such the responsibility of the federal government. I do not see what is so hard to understand about this concept. As long as the insurance companies continue to make decisions based solely on their profit margins there will never be affordable health care in this country.

I think you need to decide whether your particular political ideology is more important than the well being of your fellow country men.

Can you also please explain why single payer systems are so terrible when they work so well for every other country who uses them?
are there any of our Canadian brothers and sisters out there with some personal
stories about how great the Canadian healthcare system is?

...how about from the UK, would some of you fellow stoners mind sharing
some of your experiences?

and Ramulux, you should have someone explain the free enterprise system
to you. ...Competition incentivizes innovation while a lack of competition leads
to stagnation. Imagine a world where Cheerios was the only cereal there
was.
