Mr. micheal moore does not hate the US,
if you would allow yourself to watch the films he has made -you would see
that he is not a "bad man" -
I have a good friend that lives in Canada -the system works for the Canadians! they love it! They can't imagine living ithout it.

My sister lives in France and is married to a frenchman, she loves the National
health care system in France,and England has NHS as well...
it works in the US -what you call socialism -
I call public schools, public libraries, people who are paid by the individual states such as teachers, professors, police, state highway patrol, etc.
Benjamin Franklin was be no means - a communist? or socialist?

The A public library is a library which is accessible by the public and is generally funded from public sources (such as tax monies) and may be operated by civil servants. Taxing bodies for public libraries may be at the municipal, district covering several municipalities, county, state, or federal level.

Public libraries exist in most nations of the world and are often considered an essential part of having an educated and literate population. In addition to print books and periodicals, most public libraries today have a wide array of other media including music CDs, computer software, movies on video tape, and DVD, as well as facilities to access the Internet. Many public libraries also provide access to digital books and music that can be downloaded directly to Mp3 players. Public libraries may also provide other services, such as community meeting rooms, storytimes for infants, toddlers, and children, or after-school programs. In person and on-line programs for homework help, language learning and other community service programs are common offerings. One of the most popular programs offered in public libraries are summer reading programs for children, families, and adults. In rural areas, the local public library may have, in addition to its main branch, a mobile library service, consisting of one or more buses furnished as a small public library, serving the countryside according to a regular schedule.

United Kingdom
In the early years of the seventeenth century many famous collegiate and town libraries — i.e., libraries under the guardianship of municipalities — were founded throughout the country. Norwich library established in 1608 (six years after Thomas Bodley founded the Bodleian Library, which was open to the "whole republic of the learned", and 145 years before the foundation of the British Museum) is said to be the first provincial town library under municipal control, however, similar claims are made for the Francis Trigge Chained Library of St. Wulfram's Church, Grantham, Lincolnshire which is said to pre-date Norwich library by ten years, being founded in 1598 by the rector of nearby Welbourne.


Manchester Central Library Other early town libraries of the UK include those of Ipswich (1612), Bristol (founded in 1613 and opened in 1615), and Leicester (1632). Shrewsbury School also opened its library to townsfolk.[1]
Benjamin Franklin was born in England thus he took the good system with him
to America and so Ben Franklin has been credited starting the public library system in the U.S....
I would miss all these if they were not here, wouldn't you?

So the question is this -since most of the english speaking World accepts
A National Health care system, and the US would surely use any great cure or any invention from all over the world that works -

Why not US National Health care -

I am on Medicaid,(SSI) that is similiar -but in my state which is not nice -we are not entitled to dental check ups or anything dental??? so the poor lose their teeth -we have about 50 million people in the USA with "zero health care"
if you have PD you can not get regular insurance -pre-existing condition -red flagged!
I was told by my insurance company -so sorry we can no longer insure you, because PD patients have a high rate of suicide -
and that was a famous healthcare company?


the US medicaid system is - a really communistic type of system -
keeping the sick- broken and poor...
the rules of medicaid are harsh -I can't even have more than 2000 dollars to my name - and I can not be employable in my case...??
the kick in the pants is even though I should have been given SSA,
quote
someone found a crack in the system and swept me towards it...
-
Is that Liberty? *

My sister has lived all over the World

...and we definately do not have a perfect/ or good system - everything could be so much better...

The common people, considered as the primary source of political power.
that is what is called a "Democracy".
it is we the people...ideally?

The U.S. spends over $2 trillion on medical care every year, and offers the best medical
technology in the world.1 Americans have their choice of top doctors and hospitals, and
our national investment in scientific research has paid off handsomely. Diseases that
were once life-threatening are now curable; conditions that once devastated are now
treatable. Yet, the benefits of the American health care system come at a price that an
increasing number of individuals and families, employers and employees, and public and
private providers cannot afford.
Millions of Americans are uninsured or underinsured because of rising medical
costs. Nearly 45 million Americans2—including 9 million children3—lack health
insurance. Eighty percent of the uninsured are in working families.4 Even those with
health coverage are struggling to cope with soaring medical costs.

The Lack of affordable health care is compounded by serious flaws in our health care delivery system.

About 100,000 Americans die from medical errors in hospitals every year.8 Prescription drug errors
alone cost the nation more than $100 billion every year.
One-quarter of all medical spending goes to administrative and overhead costs and reliance on antiquated paperbased
record and information systems needlessly increases these costs.

Underinvestment in prevention and public health.
Too many Americans go without high-value preventive services, such as cancer screening and immunizations to protect
against flu or pneumonia. Providers are not adequately reimbursed for helping patients
manage chronic illnesses like diabetes or asthma.
