Canada has rationing and US doesn't and its bad, so everybody can have health care. On the other hand, what China is doing for the PLA is genius. Chinese have these for-profit companies set up so the PLA can act completely independently from the Marxist government. That is what health-care should be like, but nothing about our government corporations are for-profit and Obama only wants TWO government corporations competing to lower healthcare budget, not 20 government corporations such as those working for the CMC. Needs to be for-profit so it can afford staff, equipment, and cut excess fat. IT should be across state-lines and have not 2 but like 20 government corporations competing like what the Chinese do for their PLA which by the way act independently from the marxist government. The whole PLA is under control the Central Military Commission (CMC). We really needed the Central Military Commission for our nationalized healthcare, but the democratic party doesn't want to think that way and they want government to INTERACT WITH NATIONALIZED HEATLHCARE, not act independently from government, and that will succeed. They're insanely stupid if they think it will succeed the way they have it. Oh yeah, and illegals alien get in for free, because of our court system is sympathetic. It's all insanely stupid. My two cents

Since the Democratic Party is too boneheaded to set the nationalized healthcare like the Central Military Commission in China, the only way is do it with private corporations, across state-lines with more than 20 corporations involved. One of the reasons why we must keep private insurance is Australia is one of the best places to live in the world. It has a 66% nationalized healthcare (they call it Medicare too) and 33% private insurance. Australia has more GDP per capita than the United States, UK, France, Germany. Australia more laissez-faire than the United States. It's important to stay at least competitive with Australia now. I'm saying for the "Medicare" aspect, you need more 20 government corporations involved for it to work. Australia has the 33% private insurance, because when you're off Medicare, it's great to be on private insurance as a promotional thing. Either country should have more than 33% private insurance. It's lower, because a Labour party is in power in 2009.

Here is an liberal-conservative alternative to nationalized Obamacare.
1. Stop Paying the Crooks. First, we must dramatically reduce healthcare fraud within our current healthcare system. Outright fraud -- criminal activity -- accounts for as much as 10 percent of all healthcare spending. That is more than $200 billion every year. Medicare alone could account for as much as $40 billion a year.
2. Move from a Paper-based to an Electronic Health System. As it stands now, it is simply impossible to keep up with fraud in a paper-based system. An electronic system would free tens of billions of dollars to be spent on investing on the kind of modern system that will transform healthcare. In addition, it would dramatically increase our ability to eliminate costly medical errors and to accelerate the adoption of new solutions and breakthroughs.
3. Tax Reform. The savings realized through very deliberately and very systematically eliminating fraud could be used to provide tax incentives and vouchers that would help cover those Americans who currently can’t afford coverage. In addition, we need to expand tax incentives for insurance provided by small employers and the self-employed. Finally, elimination of capital gains taxes for investments in health-solution companies can greatly impact the creation advancement of new solutions that create better health at lower cost.
4. Create a Health-Based Health System. In essence, we must create a system that focuses on improving individual health. The best way to accomplish this is to find out what solutions are actually working today that save lives and save money and then design public policy to encourage their widespread adoption. For example, according to the Dartmouth Health Atlas, if the 6,000 hospitals in the country provided the same standard of care of the Intermountain or Mayo health clinics, Medicare alone would save 30 percent of total spending every year. We need to make best practices the minimum practice. We need the federal government and other healthcare stakeholders to consistently migrate to best practices that ensure quality, safety and better outcomes.
5. Reform Our Health Justice System. Currently, the U.S. civil justice system is the most expensive in the world -- about double the average cost in virtually every other industrialized nation. But for all of the money spent, our civil justice system neither effectively compensates persons injured from medical negligence nor encourages the elimination of medical errors. Because physicians fear malpractice suits, defensive medicine (redundant, wasteful treatment designed to avoid lawsuits, not treat the patient) has become pervasive. CHT is developing a number of bold health-justice reforms including a “safe harbor” for physicians who followed clinical best practices in the treatment of a patient.
6. Invest in Scientific Research and Breakthroughs. We must accelerate and focus national efforts, re-engineer care delivery, and ultimately prevent diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease and diabetes which are financially crippling our healthcare system.
