That works out great, except for the people who die waiting for health-care.

You act like I didn't peruse it at all. The fact of the matter is, these systems don't meet their nations demand. Does that mean that those nations are composed of cold uncaring evil demons? No. When the government takes over a system, they create a government powered monopoly. All motives that make health-care better are taken away. In the proposed HillaryCare, you were forced to go to the given hospital assigned to where you live, you couldn't go where you felt had the best doctors and care, so why would any hospital try to be better?

Giving it out doesn't necessarily mean the nation will be better off.

2. Our nation does the most health care research?
I'm sure my reputation will be slaughtered for this, but...
