As for killing off the old.

My grandmother is in her 80s. She was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. She saw her doctor..then was sent to a specialist..(didnt have to wait by the way) and got all her treatment and medication all at no cost to her....

So much for the NHS killing off the elderly...

Free government-provided health care for all can work, at least in small countries. We here in Finland have it and we have, for example, one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world. I couldn't imagine people here accepting a situation where somebody would not get treated because he/she didn't have an insurance. But the US is so huge, can they afford free health care for everybody?
