Part of what obstructs meaningful debate around this topic is the total mischaracterization of what people are actually after.
After all the idea of healthcare is a misnomer. For if you're healthy you clearly don't need care.
Thus what people really seem to be after is affordable medical treatment.
Which is substantially different than medical insurance (which, again, should not be called health insurance because obviously you wouldn't insure yourself against your health).
So until people quit playing loose and fast with the words they use in this debate, they'll never understand that government provided medical insurance in no way guarantees affordable medical treatment.

Thanks for the comment.
Loose and fast with words describes this article.
The reality of health care bureaucracy is bad enough, no need for hyperbole.
