>>First of all, I do not trust the American healthcare system, period. 2nd, I do not want any additional taxes upon me without my consent to pay for healthcare that our nation cannot afford while we are going into a recession and a possible depression. 3rd, the government of the United States cannot be trusted. 4th, the medical system in the United States is full of corruption.

>We actually agree here, except that there's no system. There's a patchwork of programs, none of which have a general coverage; they only cover particular cases and/or groups. It's medical industry, not healthcare system. Actually, it doesn't care, and it's not health, it's profits that it's after.

I disagree with you. I don't know where you get your facts but I worked for a major hospital for 4 years. I have also experienced hospitals/healthcare system as a patient and a relative of patient(s). And in my experience we have a very good system (with room for improvement of course) and with many, many very caring people (not just profit driven as you put it).
