It's confusing, for sure. The ironic part of my rant is that my dad is Canadian - in Canada, of course - retired, and wheelchair bound due to ALS. By any stretch, he is the person that "doesn't deserve healthcare," as he'd put it.
I definitely understand the expense and financial implications of overhauling the US system as it is, but I don't understand the insistence on refusing to make changes to it.
I guess it is the usual thing... things are terrible, but people are scared that they alternative is worse! Better the devil that you know...
... or I would suggest that the people with the most power to change the system are the people who most benefit from the current set up!
