    Actually, the most recent gallop poll shows that 50-51% of Americans support the recognition of gay marriage with 48-49% against it......Still it is pretty messed up how it is still nearly equally divided on this issue, though.

    And even then, getting emergency care does not guarantee you will walk out without paying (unless you are a hobo, possibly). You can be poor or whatnot, but if you give a hint that you live somewhere with an address....the hospital will send you a big bill.

    The emergency room only treats you in a emergency....it does not treat you in the earlier stages (even if you have growing case of cancer or an infection) despite doing so would be much cheaper than waiting until it becomes an emergency when it becomes more expensive.

    If the US had universal healthcare that covered preventive care, then you would have less poor people waiting until their sickness goes into a dangerous stage when it becomes expensive to treat and prices would not be so high.

    So is our policemen, fire department, US postal service, military, highways, public schools, and more.....all paid for by the government and thus would be considered: socialism......

    The US already accepts some forms of socialism.....do research before spouting that.

    Japan's has its flaws, but it is certainly much affordable compared to the US and the results are a somewhat better.....although, France's healthcare (and Scandanavian countries, especially) are way ahead of both the US and Japan when it comes to providing good care for its citizens.

    You do not hear news that involves thousands of citizens are denied care or have to wait very long just to receive care in those countries that are prevalent in the US (and to a lesser extent, Japan).

    Obama's healthcare bill is not even nationalized healthcare.....it is based on a Republican alternative to univeral healthcare by relying on mandatory PRIVATE insurance instead of Clinton's nationalized healthcare plan in the 90s!

    Honestly, it is like conservatives have a short term memory or easily swayed by the political climate without doing actual research and how the US healthcare system is a financial mess with no better results than most other first world countries.

    And by the way, Obama's healthcare bill is not even in full effect until 2014!

    Do research before blabbing "it has not dropped prices yet"......

    Sex change would be "considered" elective....because your life is not endangered.....your comparisons are not well thought up.

    Then, do not use the public roads, postal service, and ask for the government to provide you a lawyer if you are convicted of a crime and do not have the funds yourself to do it, then.

    And I see you insulting a woman who only believes that insurance provide contraceptives much like how most provide viagra for men......just to be fair and not have unplanned pregnancies and go toward abortions (which costs more).

    The government only gives enough to help assist some of the cost, it does not cover everything....so you are going to have to work (which most poor people do).

    If you really feel that way about the government, then do not drive your car on public roads nor use the postal service (services paid for with taxes and provided by the government).

    Honestly, this is getting stupid.....

    My taxes pay for your roads that your car drives on, postal service, and a child's education at a public school.....and this is despite the fact that I do not have a car, hardly use the postal service, and I have no child....and you do not see me complaining because those things are worth it as we are society that needs those things.

    And the government gives food stamps to those who make less than the federal poverty level (at least, most of the times).

    I loved how you ignored when I mentioned the main differences.....Sueing is either for selfish reasons or to just get money. While the right to healthcare insures that you live.

    If you do not understand the main differences and why one of them should be the right and not the other (suing).....then, that is just sad.

    If you are convicted of a crime, you are entitled to receive a lawyer for your defense. The government will even provide you one if you cannot afford one.

    But yes, in other cases.....It is sad, but at the very least their lives are not in danger in those situations (while healthcare involves your overall health and LIFE).

    Honestly, even when Obama is actually being fiscally responsible by not going into another war and trimming down the defense budget by getting out of Iraq.....conservatives still complain.

    There are hardly any clinics that offer free services, this is another ignorant statement.

    Occasionally, they may offer a free treatment for once a year......but a clinic do not actually do surgerys and pay for your medications from the pharmacy.

    Come on, now. Read the news.

    This is not true for every doctor......come on, now.

    There is a reason why 40,000 and 50,000 Americans that die are because they cannot afford to see the doctor and do not have insurance!

    Not all doctors will negotiate. They want to make a profit and thus: they could careless that you will face a very expensive bill that could bankrupt you or refuse treatment unless you cough up more money (which most people do not have).

    Probably never or for a very long time.....

    Thailand is very generous to be doing this though, since it is not exactly a economic power in the world.
