I think you're missing it, mang. Many American hospitals are already stretched thin for resources. If you socialize health care, providers will see a huge influx of people who could not get health care previously.

I don't think it's a bad thing that everyone in America can get their basic medical needs met... I just think there might be better ways to accomplish this. Here's a simple three-step process for better health care in the USA:

1.Cut "defense" budget by 25%.
2. Reassign sweet moolah to health-care assistance programs for the unpriveliged.
3. Success! And maybe there will be some money left over for schools?!

If you shoot Bobby and Emily and then Kenny shoots Christina, how many people are dead?

editorial from the new york times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/05/opinion/05thu4.html?em&ex=1183780800&en=ab75f9fc06c752bb&ei=5087%0A
mentions some of the points in this thread here, like the bureaucratic difficulties in socialized health care, and brings up a couple of other ones.

i'm not sure if i'll end up seeing this in theaters or not, as far as the movie itself goes.
