A system for providing medical attention to people, of which Americans have absolutely noe experience, knowledge or understandig of. Yet they have a million strong, gut wrenching opinions about it.
American: "Hey i dont want your "socialiced medicine" system in my country! I am an expert on national healtcare systems. Insurance companies are the Gods of knowledge and all scientists are retards and Universal Healthcare is communism.
European: "Ok.. whatever... I'll go and have my free MRI tomorrow, and take my kids to the doctor for the annual free check."

A system by which health care is available to all citizens of a country irrespective of their ability to pay.
Sometimes called "socialized medicine" it in fact can be provided using a combination of the public and private sector, compulsory insurance with assistance for those who can not afford it, a system funded entirely by taxes, or both.
The USA is the only developed country not to implement universal health care. The current system is very expensive and inefficient, people in the USA pay more than anyone for health care in the first world yet receive treatment on par with third world countries.

Governement control of healthcare which will be sold as making healthcare more affordable but will result in financially driven long waits, tests not being given, missed diagnoses, and ultimately deaths that would have been prevented if the system was not in place
Nationalized healthcare is the worst idea in the history of the US.
Nationalized healthcare is only good if you have the money to opt out of it.
If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait till you see how much it costs when it's free!

Man 1: Man, I broke my arm and don’t have insurance. Now I’ll have to pay thousands of dollars to get it healed!
Man 2: *Lives in sweden* oh man, I barely had to pay anything when I broke my arm. Thank you Universal Healthcare!
Man 1: Oh well, I guess I just won’t pay my rent and sell my Jeep to pay for my medical costs.
