While I would love to be able to go to the doctor without paying, I have seen too many problems with social healthcare to want it. I don't really care about numbers, I care about people. And while it seems that more people could be treated if we did away with profit-driven healthcare, even more people could be helped if we stopped being sue happy and let doctors do their jobs.
Although one of the largest contributors to healthcare being so expensive is that doctors have to pay for mal-practice insurance even though they are good doctors. I'd rather see those costs regulated before being forced into a state healthcare plan.
Yeah, doctors' incomes have been steadily decreasing over the last twenty years. Oddly enough, as insurance companies pay doctors less for services, they charge people more for the insurance. It's not the doctors, or even the hospitals, who are getting rich here.
