If an insurance company denies me coverage, I can complain to the government.
Good luck on that.

So who do you complain to if the government denies you coverage?

The gov't won't deny you coverage. That's the whole point.
The advantage of the gov't being the sole insurance carrier is that they are not profit driven. No executives are getting huge bonuses based on how many valid claims are denied.
As long as the treatment you are seeking is one that is normally covered by the gov't, it will be paid. Sorry, boob jobs probably aren't included in what's covered.

Are you going to pay for this wonderful "healthcare" for all of us? With all the illegal aliens and all the lawsuits, the cost would be much higher in the US than Canada. So it really has nothing to do with healthcare. I want healthcare to be between me and my doctor. I don't want the government involved in the equation.
I don't buy the smokescreen. This isn't about "healthcare" it's about control.

Caedes
As I said on another thread on this subject mrs Caedes (American) has tried the UK and US systems and prefers the UK one. She no longer has to pay a fortune for prescriptions for a start, one prescription she was paying for in the US she now gets exactly the same brand drug at no charge at all.

The bottom line is that the USA, as a society, as a country and as a people, continue to exhibit to the rest of the world how they view their own people and how they insist on maintaining a 'me' vs a 'we' ideology. One woman, Republican, on a talk show yesterday made it clear - if the money is used for health care for all Americans, then what happens if they need money for another war? Priorities.
Interesting enough, I do think that people in the USA should be ashamed of allowing their governments to feed them so many lies, treating them as if they are stupid. Why can't your government stop insulting, downgrading and lying about other countries like Japan, UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Australia and Canada in their healthcare campaigns instead of dealing directly with their own issues like people dying because they don't have money for care, or hospitals not being built or shut down, in the lack of doctors in many areas of the country and lack of clinics or services there, in the litigious issues that cost millions in ridiculous lawsuits, in poorly run and corrupt insurance companies, in deals made with politicians and the health care industry?
There's a reason why all those countries have some form of universal care for their people - it's called leadership. The way that care is applied might be different but why keep denigrating it as substandard when it so clearly is not? sammieswife.

You are kidding me... right? EVERY government plan, regardless of where it is, rations care. Ohhh, I see. I should have used the word "treatment" not "coverage."

Well, who doesn't want the very same thing? Please let us know when your health care truly becomes between you and your doctor instead of between you and your insurance company.
How old are you? I am thinking you are rather young because obviously you haven't had a serious enough disease yet to know what the insurance companies have in store for you when you do.

Why would that change? The gov't will replace your insurance company. It won't replace your doctor.
