So, after trying to fight a rational healthcare system by claiming that it would ration care and prevent people from getting the surgeries they need like boob jobs and such, you are now arguing that national healthcare would create the exact same healthcare system that we already have in the US.
In other words, you have stopped pointing to Canada and say "do you want the horrors of Canada here by passing national healthcare?" to now pointing at the US and saying "do you want the US healthcare imposed on you by national healthcare?"
If you look at healthcare in Japan, Taiwan, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Britain, France, etc, you will find the following horrors:
- they cost less per capita than the US
- they have fewer malpractice lawsuits
- they have far fewer expensive surgeries
- their healthcare costs have gone up slower
- their citizens wouldn't think of replacing their system with the US system
Clearly the problem that conservatives face is the failure of their ideology to trump reality.
