re: 'Universal' health care will NEVER work

Because the emergency room model is incredibly expensive and inefficient? A bad deal for everyone wealthy or otherwise. Bad for business, too.
I personally don't have a problem waiting six months for non essential surgery, or have the option of going the private route on my own to have the surgery expedited, if that system produces better or the same results for less public and private healthcare spending. I'm fiscally conservative like that though.
If you want to argue the US government specifically cannot effectively run UHC that's a line of argument I am open to. Saying that it doesn't work elsewhere though is fantasy.

Which is why EMTALA needs to be gotten rid of.

You're not taking into account its corrosive effects on society. Y'all never do, and the decay continues apace.

Working for smaller more homogeneous countries does not mean it will work here where we subsidize the poor into being unhealthy.
