Yes, and proudly government insured for US$130,- per month which equals the very best available commercial insurance in the US (such as reconstructive plastic surgery and recovery support). The key is everyone pays the same, it's not linked to income, everyone pays mandatory, government becomes giant customer that is able to force clinics to lower their prices or else no clientele...
It works throughout Europe why wouldnt it work in the US, and why do you rather run the risk of going bankrupt then to be sure you get all medical care that you need even if you dont need it now.
I honestly fail to understand why there are so many people buying into the false accusations the opposition is feeding the public. Investigate a bit for yourself instead of blatently accepting the Fox News gibberish.
Also we are free to use private clinics or foreign clinics if we prefer to do so but that is only covered up to what the costs would be when the procedure is done here. Anyway, all I'm saying is it is a good thing if done well, if linked to income then I can understand people having an issue with it (we had that up till 4 years ago, which resulted into people getting preferential treatment, which isnt too bad if you are the one getting it but hardly fair if you need it in rougher times). However Obama has said that he like to copy the Dutch/Swiss system, which is based on an equal share for all.
