Paula I once heard it said that if we made Insurance mandatory and
paid for every ones health insurance our premiums would actually go
down due to less extraordinary procedures and other influences.
It is possible to cover everyone for health insurance, we just have
to change the way we think, and as you said take the profit motive
out of the equation.

I guess it really doesn't matter which was where. My mother also
died because of an aortic aneurysm....diagnosed late by incompetant
dr.s here in the good old USA. She was diagnosed correctly , but too
late, after my husband, a physician, made arrangements to get her
moved from IL by ambulance to Indy so we could have someone we knew
look at her. So, to get good treatment, she too had to travel
hundreds of miles to a reputable medical area. And her sister,my
aunt, died following hip surgery at age 80 and she DID have good care
but she was OLD. And, medicare and her insurance did pay it. S*it
happens! Being in the US is no guarantee of good care or a good
outcome even if you can pay for it and we pay and pay and pay for the
privilege of mediocre care. And as has been stated 45 million people
can't afford any care at all. Shameful.
I'd prefer to pay a slight increase in taxes if need be and do away
with the outrageous insurance fees we pay. We'd come out ahead.
