would be nice but where's the money gong to come from? the government can't afford to sustain the free healthcare to the elderly and welfare recipients it already provides. i read somewhere that south africa and venezuela have free healthcare enshrined into law as a human right. how's that working out for them?
i live in the uk where healthcare is meant to be free at the point of use but the thing is creaking at the knees despite ever bigger sums of money being thrown at it. non stop inflation busting spending increases haven't kept up with people's demands on the service. this is fully down to the aging population with people who used to die at 70 now living until 85 and still expecting to retire at the same age, but this isn't something that gets discussed by politicians (old people vote). sometimes the odd right winger will mention cutting foreign aid or cutting support for unproductive immigrants but they wont go near the elephant in the room.
