I started this thread asking my Canadian neighbors what their personal experience has been with a federal medical program. I would like to ask all the English speaking nations (since only the USA doesn't have one) how their individual life experience has been living with such a system. It is a VERY hot topic here that has been forced to the forefront by the world economic crises our *financial experts* have created/permitted and isn't able to be sweep under the rug this time.

I'm sad to confess I do not believe one word coming from ANYBODY over here. You have to understand the normal process here regarding any 'real topic' is for every political, special interest and causenik group to throw up a cloud of mud, smoke & mirror and bullshit with everything from half truths to outright lies so thick the people just cover their ears and go away as long as they are not bleeding or starving, and the ones with the most power continue with business as usual. Now that things are heading towards torches and pitchforks, it's a mushroom clouds of crap that is blossoming up.

I would like to know from real, honest people that have lived with another health system how it has been for you overall.
