May 22, 2010, on Health Care Reform:
No, you should have a government run healthcare system like we have in Britain. It's much better. It works here. I really don't see why it shouldn't work in America. A Private companies, people tend to cut corners. They're not trying to provide a public service, they're trying to make money. Cost doesn't really matter, (since this is to do with someone's life/death or at least quality of life) but it'll be cheaper if there is a system where there is more focus on prevention, and people don't have to pay every time they see a doctor, meaning that they will be able to go even when it hasn't got to serious. like... going to a doctor when you find a lump somewhere, rather than when- if it is cancer- it starts seriously affecting you (preventative care is cheaper). Anyway, if people lived more healthily, it would be less expensive. Maybe that should be encouraged more.
