let's do healthcare

people are afraid of government run healthcare here in america and point to canada as the prime example of what isn't wanted, which is really mostly just the wait times. beyond the fact that that isn't really what is currently proposed, let's also look at that wait time fear. immediately, we're not going to see any improvements. but over time, as more people receive that "cradle-to-grave" healthcare, they will get more preventative care done earlier in life where there is time to wait instead of reactive care when something goes wrong. which of course will usually turn out cheaper. anyway, link relevant and related: http://bit.ly/19ksdC
