Will Obamacare succeed where term limits failed?

That's how most single-payer systems work. A national baseline of healthcare, and then more or faster or better service if you have the means to pony up. Seems to work pretty well.

My mother and step-father are obsessive Fox News viewers, and they insist that private healthcare is illegal in Great Britain. Because, you know, socialism and stuff. No matter how many times I explained that this was false, to this day they will tell anyone who will listen how private doctors are illegal in Merry Olde Englande.

Fact-free. So much of this debate is blissfully devoid of data and empiricism. Makes me crazy.

If you was curious, the biggest private providers in the UK are Bupa.

I would be interested for you to use their "get a quote" to get a price comparison. To see if it is cheaper or more expensive than typical insurance in the US.

For me by myself, it looks between £41-65 per month. So $61-100 in your money.

This could be cheaper due to the public funding aspects as well.
