America does not have anything like ‘socialised medicine’. Just as in 4th World Countries, if you can’t pay you die.
In America, there are the County Hospitals which will give emergency care and charge you later. They won’t go beyond the basics. If you can’t pay, you die. That is America.
In America health care is as expensive as in a 4th World Country. Everything has a cost and if you don’t have Insurance, (which is expensive) and you can’t pay, you die. It’s simple.
Sure, Americans pay taxes. That money goes to drop bombs on other countries, give aid to other countries. Medical Care in America is not free. Is not covered by your taxes.
Things are so bad in America that a man who needed a kidney transplant committed a crime. He committed a crime, waited for the police to arrive, was arrested, plead guilty, and went to prison. He went to prison so that he could get the medical care he needed. For in America, one can’t deny medical care to prisoners.
Obama Care extended medical coverage to people who can’t afford Insurance. Extended coverage so that a person wasn’t denied care because they couldn’t pay for it. Denied care because either they had no insurance or the insurance would not cover the care.
To give you and example…
A person was in an accident. Taken to the hospital they needed a pin in their broken bone. They needed a wheel chair, then a walker. The person needed rehabilitation.
Because of Obama care, that person is walking around today and unless you are told, you wouldn’t know there is a titanium pin in their leg. They weren’t just stuck in a cast, hoping the bone healed in some form, they weren’t just tossed out on the street to drag themselves.
Because of Obama Care, this person received the operation, the pin, the wheel chair and the walker…free.
Because of Obama Care.
When a billionaire like Trump wants to kill medical coverage for the poor or working poor, because it costs him $10.00 more in taxes, all I could do was pray that the American Congress grew a brain and did not destroy Obama Care.
Prayers are answered.

Politics apart any country has a responsibility towards the good health and the welfare of its citizens. It is the responsibility of the government of the day to see that they do not damage what structure is already there. It is better if they try to improve the system which exists. That should be the ideal goal of all politicians or parties around the world. If the people of the country are not in good health it affects the economy of the country directly and causes economic loses for the country as the country will not have good quality human resource which is healthy.
Keeping this in view it is always better to have countries which provide a strong social welfare for its people. As government is of the people, for the people and by the people. This should be arrived at irrespective of the costs involved. As if people are unwell it will reflect badly on the image of the country and if it is told that if you do not have insurance you die in a country. It reflects very adversely on the image of the country too. Happy to see that a good caring scheme for the people continues.
Perfectly put; health is important. A state should spend on health and education as priorities.
