Why liberals should never be in power...

Perhaps that may be true. But it's short-term thinking again. Nationalized health-care will destroy private medical research, stagnating advancement and ultimately costing lives and money, since more efficient and more effective treatments will take longer to perfect and develop, if they ever do at all.Look at Canada, where simple surgeries take months and years to get approval for since the system is so backlogged and inefficient. I don't want that. Where the best doctors come to America because the pay up there is abysmal.

It depends were in canada your talking about , If canada could just have more docters and nurses the national health care system would work, But the advantage of our health care is lower costs to the patients were only 60% of americans have health care insurance and not everyones insurance is acceptable in every clinic. What I reccomend for the U.S is a national medicare that is optional were if you are well off and can afford good hospitals you dont need to pay taxes for medicare, Were if you dont have good insurance you can get on medicare coverage for the price of additional taxes.
