Why should it be guaranteed by the government? It is up to you to find to. Liberty or government oversight on everything. Pick one.

The government has oversight anyway with the constitution because it's vague and has very little constraints on the government

We're also currently the greatest nation in earth where people risk their lives to immigrate here. The lack of a guaranteed healthcare system must be why.

What? Oh my. No wonder liberals are so backwards. Even the simple stuff they are 100 percent wrong about.

No, USA doesnt guarantee health insurance for all at the tax payers expense. Everyone has access to health care. They just have to pay for it.

UK doesn't guarantee HC for all, they just let some kid die instead of treating his disease.

So you're fricking stupid.

You obviously haven’t spent much time in an ER, where our lower class folks will show up at the fricking emergency room with a common cold so they can get free medicine so they dont have to spend $5 on OTC shite from Walgreens. Thanks to those kinds of people and ER not being allowed to turn people away even if they have no means of payment, it backs the ER up for hours

Holy shite, you’ve drank some meth spiked Koolaid kid! Do you realize that there is a difference between guaranteed healthcare and insurance coverage? Quick question did you know that there are hospitals that actually had to shutter ERs because they were getting financially destroyed by not turning away people....btw a vast majority of those people weren’t even citizens. Some people are so fricking gullible and believe a bunch of bull shite propaganda....and you are obviously one of them.

The first thing you need to do if you want european-style "free" healthcare is to get someone else to bear all the costs for keeping you safe. Then with the money you save by not having to commit to any meaningful level of military spending, you can parcel a little bit of crappy, rationed healthcare to all citizens.

Would you rather have the "guaranteed health care" that the child in the UK just received? The one they decided should no longer live and wouldn't let his own parents take him to another country to receive care? Is that the "guaranteed health care" you speak of?

I like how people cherry pick arguments for and against America:

Other countries do not allow immigrants to flow in across their borders practically unchecked...BUT AMERICA IS LAND OF DA FREE FOUNDED ON IMMIGRANTS, THEY DON'T NEED TO BE LIKE OTHER COUNTRIES!!

America doesn't hand out free health care to all...OTHER COUNTRIES HAND OUT FREE HEALTH CARE, AMERICA NEEDS TO BE LIKE OTHER COUNTRIES!!

How? I know a homeless guy who just got out of the hospital. (he comes into my Sunday School class, sometimes) I brought him to the hospital, and offered to give him a ride wherever he wanted to go when released, and gave my phone number to the hospital, so when they released him I could pick him up.

Since the hospital had my number, you want to guess who medical companies that provided services for him are calling? Hint: It's not him.

Those other countries have a lot of extra $$ available to them for all kinds of things because of the US military.
