Open Question: The need for Universal Healthcare? Please Read the whole Description!?
Republicans, Libertarians, I know you must disagree with me. But let me explain. I live abroad in England because I am part of a military family, I've lived here for 10 years and its almost time to go back 'home'. But there are a few things i find a little startling, when i go back to New jersey to visit my family, (whom are almost all Obama supporters) I hear them talking about Universal health care, now at first when I heard these things I scoffed at it saying its Socialism and Socialism doesn't work, right? So every country that has Universal health care has failed, this is what I thought.
Then I started noticing differences between American and british health care. My great uncle had a stroke but didn't have health insurance so he couldn't afford to go to the hospital, now I'm not saying they wouldn't have helped him. He was just stubborn and wasn't willing to pay some large amount of bills he'd have to pay later on. He just couldn't afford health Insurance. Then I realized that Universal health care, is what we have here in England. I couldn't believe that in America, you have to pay to get medically treated. I realized how stupid and narrow minded I was because i didn't even realize that what Obama was proposing is what we have here in England. Hear me out, all the Doctors are still Rich over here, and so many lives have been saved thanks to the NHS, also England isn't a socialist country just because they have a socialist health care system. Its Brilliant, not perfect, but still efficient.
My question is, from a foreign perspective, why are so many of my fellow Americans fighting this with tooth and nail saying Obama is a socialist. Is every single British Politician a Socialist? No.
