public health

I find it strange that people in America view public health care as a negative for the quality of their care. This with the simple fact that very few people even get to choose their health care as it is and poor service is its main identifier. As far as I can tell, public health care not only helps those who cannot truly afford it but also ensures more reasonable health care and frankly better health care. When my family lived in England for a year, my mother gave birth to my sister. After already having had two children, she knew what American health care. She attests to the fact that health care in England under a public health care plan was far better than any health care she received in America. I don't doubt that there are some few massively rich people who can afford really nice health care, but I think for the most part national health care would be cheaper and encourage greater competition among businesses who no longer pay for it and insurance companies who might have to compete with health care. Also, if there were universal health care, it would be a part of our taxes. I frankly don’t see where our taxes go that’s justified as it is, so actually paying a tax for something I need is something I would not be opposed to.
