It is a fact that public healthcare systems work better than private ones. Just compare the US to any other developed country.
Depends how you look at it. From a public policy and indeed moral perspective, having some strong public element is a very good idea.
The American right-wing, however, doesn't seem to interested in ensuring universal access.
I
want to believe that most American right-wingers don't actually think poor people shouldn't get any health coverage. Otherwise I'll have to conclude that they are horrible people in the proper sense of the word.
