XáreneSat, Jan 19, 2008 Any form of government organization, welfare, health care, etc... depends on the Government. Like I said the US Government has it's priorities out of whack—its after corporate, military, and imperialist interests. I don't trust them providing for my health because I will be forced to use certain drugs, see specific physicians, go to certain clinics and hospitals. I will be refused drugs, treatment and care if I am not in a specified bracket which will be determined by the Government. Basically socialized health care in America will mean the different classes will get different care.
Think of how it is now: there are so many cases where insurance companies decide what is best for a patient and over-ride the physicians' diagnosis. Those patients die. Now add to this situation where at least that patient had the opportunity to seek the care and treatment which was best for him/her, another level of control and bureaucracy on top! Basically, a Government who has more foreign interests and spending needs to get out of the lives of its citizens.
But in the case of a Government where the well being of their individual citizens and the nation as a whole is their top priority, yes, I say Socialism of anything will work. It works in Canada and from what I hear it is exceptional in Sweden. Now compare how things work in those governments to how they work here...
