12. Universal health care does not equal Medicare 4 All.

And I'm tired of people being lying about that. Some other countries have mixed public private systems but nobody ever talks about those. I don't, maybe because we think there are only 3 countries in the world? US, UK and Canada?

I'm also tired of personal stories. I don't bother with them because, I have my own story. My family's medical needs are complex, expensive and chronic. It doesn't fit on a blurb. Some of our highly specialized doctors would go out of business rather than be forced to take Medicare payments. Trust me, we don't fit into a one size fits all box.
