Universal health care

[useful idiot]

I believe universal healthcare should only be implemented in countries that can take it. It's a good idea in a place like Sweden or the UK, but a bad idea in places like the USA or Brazil or Russia. You have to take it on a case by case basis.

In the U.S. there is a much larger gap between the rich and the poor, and a large segment of the population that doesn't pay taxes, including illegals. The U.S. would also have an extreme shortage of doctors because of it's very large population and because of the fact that most people in the US become doctors to make money, whereas people in Europe are more community-oriented and become doctors to help people. The larger the gap is the worse off the system will be. In Brazil for instance we have universal healthcare. No person that makes any kind of decent money would dream of visiting a public hospital, yet they are over-crowded and understaffed.

I would answer your question more in depth but it's late here.
