(V): If you don't have insurance, and you're sick, you can go into any clinic and you have to be treated.

There's no question that the US system needs fixin. What the fix looks like is a different story.

National health care requirement would require, by law, that everyone purchase health insurance. It's a 2000+ page bill and contains many dubious requirements. Bottom line is that the government in the US can't force me to buy something. I can choose NOT to buy insurance. If I need a heart transplant, good luck on that. People live, they die. Sometimes you get so sick that you can't get fixed. Transplants are costly and risky. Someone has to die inorder for anyone to get a transplant. Then the transplanted organ has to be a match and you have to be in healthy enough shape to recieve a transplant.

If I'm an insurance company, I want to make money, not lose it on open season "everything is covered."

Currently, hearing aids are NOT covered under most US plans. So what? If I want hearing aids I either pay the 5000 out of my own pocket or I ask people to speak up. It is what it is.

Stop looking for a free lunch and man up.
