The bad thing is if you do sign up for the government healthcare plan, then you still won't get the best treatment(s). Canadians are unable to get chemotherapy treatments in Canada. They have to move here in order to get it. If Obama's healthcare plan is modeled after Canada's, we are in trouble. The government will have to ration treatments out to different people.
I just find it so ironic that we're so eager to model out healthcare system on Great Britain's healthcare system, while Great Britain is now introducing privatized health care because they're realizing that government run healthcare doesn't work.
