I know that govt healthcare in other countries works well.

  Good (and I upvoted you from 0) but the question is how good the US govt will do. What about US current govt healthcare convinces you that the US govt will do well? If you think that it will do better in the future, why?

    I was responding to the statement "many of you think". Whether that's reproducible in the US is an open question. But the fact that US citizens accept third-world level healthcare is baffling to me. ps: I have first-hand experience with European healthcare, US healthcare and third world healthcare. I'd pick European first, third world second (depending on the country though) and US third, if I had to choose.

      > But the fact that US citizens accept third-world level healthcare is baffling to me. US healthcare, even the free stuff, is well above third-world level. The typical is very comparable. Yes, the US life-expectancy stats aren't fantastic, but healthcare isn't the only variable. (Look at the disease cure rates - we do very well on cancer for example.)
