There are crazy stories with governments not allowing people in critical conditions to get treatments in those countries with public healthcare, while in the US we have the most advanced healthcare equipment, yet we are not rated very high on the healthiest countries list. People come to America to get our healthcare system when they can because they know it is the best. However, because of the extreme costs it’s very hard to provide this to everyone in the United States. While healthcare makes up 16 percent of US GDP and is a huge part of the economy , it’s very hard to quantify the value of a human life, making healthcare an issue that really does not have a simple answer. There are big flaws in both forms of healthcare we see, and frankly- seeing the governments trouble to conduct voting- I would not trust the government to run my healthcare.
