This is the state of our great republic: We’ve nationalized the financial system, taking control from Wall Street bankers we no longer trust. We’re about to quasi-nationalize the Detroit auto companies via massive loans because they’re a source of American pride, and too many jobs — and votes — are at stake. Our Social Security system is going broke as we head for a future where too many retirees will be supported by too few workers. How long before we have national healthcare? Put it all together, and the America that emerges is a cartoonish version of the country most despised by red-meat red-state patriots: France. Only with worse food.

A national health service for america couldnt do any worse then the current system; Twice as much spent on healthcare as (UK/France/Germany and dozens of other first world countries)….and yet absolutelys no improvement in the results.
Normaly if you spend double you expect some improvement…but zip…nill..nothing.
America’s health system is just about the worst value for money possible. Too much spent on too few things that actualy improve health.
And too little spent on those that need real treatments.
And as for the French.
pff. Their food is overrated. They just got good PR.

French food is not overrated. Nice try with the PR slant, though.
