<p>You know I&#8217;m really not for meddling with the system at all, but basically that video says &#8220;America can&#8217;t do it because England and Canada did it, and it doesn&#8217;t work, and there&#8217;s no way we could do it better.&#8221;</p>
<p>It also, in lieu of building a socialized medical system, justifies charging patients $5 for an aspirin because they need that money for innovations to improve trauma technology availability, cancer treatments, MRIs, etc.</p>
<p>So basically, the costs of all those innovations get distributed among everyone, even people not using it.</p>
<p>How is that not already a socialized system? So can&#8217;t America, the land of great innovation do it better? If not &#8230; well that&#8217;s a sad forecast.</p>
<p>I mean would a single payer system with incentives not solve the problem too? The title of this video is hardly accurate &#8230;</p>
<p>The video talks about how Obama purportedly is building a single payer system (this is purely conjecture), then it goes on to conclude that such a single payer system couldn&#8217;t work because Canada and England can&#8217;t make it work. It &#8220;destroys/pulverizes/crushes&#8221; a theoretical Obama &#8220;&#8216;health care&#8217; plan&#8221; that doesn&#8217;t even exist on the grounds that there&#8217;s no way America could implement a system better than Canada or England &#8230;</p>
<p>Beautiful.</p>
