I really find it hard to believe how, as a first world nation, it could be really worse than it is now. Most of the people talking shit about how "health care quality will go down" haven't spent a lick of fucking time in other countries, and don't know many people from first world nations with socialized healthcare. Not a single one of my Canadian, English, or Australian friends have near the amount of complaints many injured or sick Americans have. DH is a prime example of sheltered, American ignorance in this regard -- cue "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" quote.
Best response I have ever seen to those who claim good health and not needing mandatory insurance, or to those who think that we should have little to no sympathy to our fellow humans:
"Conditions develop pretty fast."
