Government run health care works in other countries. Why are we supposed to be different?

Actually, government run health care does not work in the rest of the world. It is health care rationing. Andy knows - he lived with it most of his life. When he was in agony with a knee cap that had slipped, if he had not had private health insurance, he would have been put on a waiting list and would have had to spend 1 - 2 years in great pain waiting for his surgery because it was not life-threatening.

And I agree. Why should we be any different?
