My understanding about our health care system is if you go to a government subsidized ER then they have to treat you no questions asked (though this probably does not include chemotherapy, radiation therapy and I am sure there is a great deal of other exclusions).

I saw a news story (I think it was NBC nightly news) a couple of weeks ago about the canadian health care program. Some of the problems are the time people have to wait to see a Dr.-usually takes months and the level of healthcare-not top quality. If chemo is needed people wait weeks to get started.

If the U.S. started to have universilized health care I would bet our advances in medicine would suffer. People come to the U.S. b/c we are the best and most progressive when it comes to medical techniques.
