I am still optimistic, that with some work, America's greatness can be restored.
Restored? Or molded into some sort of weeny apeasing bananna republic?
Restored.........
As the VA is a socialized medical system where the state owns the hospitals, employs the doctors and controls the medical procedures, it is therefore evil and must be eliminated.
Furthermore, all politicians who voted for increasing funding to the Evil that is VA should be booted from office. Which includes Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner and Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell, both of which, amusingly have stated opposition to Obama's plan partly due to its "socialism."

Depends what your aim is. If it's to provide the best medical treatment on the planet, Free market is the way to go.
However, If you want to provide the best medical care in the world, UHC is the only option.
Are they not the same thing?Depends what your aim is. If it's to provide the best medical treatment on the planet, Free market is the way to go.

And how do you know that which you state for a fact?
Shows how backwards we are compared to the rest of the industrialized world.
Why should they, there is a fool born in the US every minute willing to foot the bill for them.
I find your explanation confusing.Good lord, of course it's different. Treatment is the quality of care an average patient gets once admitted to the system. Healthcare is the level of care your average person who is subject to the system receives.
Couple of examples;
Castro got sick; he had access to the very best standard of treatment in the world. - But the average Cuban wouldn't.
Ditto for the premier of Newfoundland.
As apposed to your average Canadian, British, or French, who can walk in, get treated for whatever ails them with a high probability of success, and walk out.
Yes and no.I assume you are trying to say that UHC, or some version of it, provides a better overall medical care coverage, for everyone, than the current U.S. system.
It might have a higer concentration of exceptional institutions, lets say the top 5% or so. That's not to say that there are no institutes of excellance in France or Britain, but on average hospital care is the same.I further assume you are trying to say that the current U.S. system has higher quality of medical care on an individual basis,
Nope. Because of the medical costs etc much of the really higher end stuff is beyond the reach of the entire population. Which is where insurance companies fit in.but not better overall.
