Yes, but that is being done now. No society screens more or with better equipment than the USA.
The way to fix health care is to bring down the costs of the private system. You don't do that by letting the public sector take over. That's going the wrong way if you are actually trying to fix the problem.
Obamas beloved and used as an example
US postal service just announced a "yearly" loss of 7 BILLION dollars, and are on track to lose another 7 BILLION dollars next year.
So what was the response of the Postmaster general? Gonna raise the price of the product and cut back on deliveries.
Is that a business model???? No, that's the govt. running a business (think health care). That's how it looks, that's how it thinks.
Now they want to have a go at your very health. Do not be fooled........
