Please, no partisan bickering, for every example thrown out, the opposite can be found.
I want to hear reasons why universal health care will work or not.
keep in mind, departments of our government that are not politicized seem to work pretty well.
Postal service (largest volume in the world)
National Geological Survey (our oil industry uses them, plus they make some of the best maps in the world)
FEMA before it was politicized and outsourced. (is there a need to go into how they have failed us?)
Weather service (very dependable, very good, while not always being right, but close enough)
Peace
