I feel I have to post here since I just spent a week in the hospital with my mother diagnosed with terminal cancer. This is supposed to be the "top" hospital in the area here, and I had to empty her trash cans myself daily, and her bed wasn't changed for a week! Apparently this was due to being "short staffed" because of the high cost of health care, but I honestly can't see how socialized medicine could be any worse than what she received.
You do know, there would be a big lobby outcry against this in the US!
Personally, I'd like to see it!

Oh, and I must add that my mom has Medicare as well as another insurance which covers most of her costs.
