This speaks more to your country of origin than it does to universal healthcare.

  > This speaks more to your country of origin than it does to universal healthcare. Ignoring the rudeness of your comment, who is to say that the implementation of universal healthcare in the US will not wind up as dysfunctional as the system in the parent poster's country?

    The problem with endtime's argument is that it's a non-sequitur. It comes down to: > There is a country where government-run healthcare is bad. Therefore a proposed government-run healthcare system is probably also bad. This simply doesn't follow. I could make the same argument backwards by pointing to a country where government-run healthcare works well, and concluding that therefore universal healthcare in the US is going to be awesome. endtime is demonstrating his/her sentiment, but does nothing to advance the discussion.

      I was responding to a comment which said: > No. There is a very large number of people in the US who are (for whatever reason) against universal health care. I was responding specifically to the "for whatever reason" part, giving an example of a reason.
