Suppression Of Universal Free Health Care.

Would it not be in the best interest of a nation, a government, a society, etc. to provide universal free health care 100% paid for by the state?

Of course it would: Increase the health, quality of life, productivity, longevity, and public good will? All good things. It would keep the costs low.
It is the correct and just thing to do.

However, we find ourselves in a strange state these days. The costs of medical coverage and prescriptions are prohibitive to many citizens. Even fewer citizens could afford the care without medical insurance. Prescription drug and health insurance companies are the two greatest criminal enterprises of our time.

A doctor should never have to give care according to insurance cards or lacktherof. No person should be denied transplant or treatment because of expense.

Is this suppression of open health care being used as a method of control by the rich powerful elite?

The main reason we don't have it is because of the sheer amount of obscenely
economic conservatives and libertarians in the country who complain about anything
the government spends that they don't approve of.


There have been people who have advocated Universal Health-care in the US for years,
but because of various reasons, such as McCarthyism and the propaganda making Americans
hate anything that was'nt overtly Capitalist it was'nt created at any point between 1950 and 1980.

Because of Reagan and his bunch it was'nt created during his or the first Bush's reign.

Clinton actually wanted to create it, but the Republicans were in control of the Congress,
so he was'nt able to.

GWB is against anything not privatized, and the Congress has been Republican controlled,
so there's been no trys to implement it since 2000.


However, now that the Congress is Democratically controlled, and the next president
will most likely be a Democrat, there is a good chance that something could be done.
