We pay for this privilege through our tax an at extra 3%. (which is a bargain really compared to private health insurance costs)

It's cheap, and provides great peace of mind knowing no matter what happens to you you can get treated in any hospital in the country for free.

I just don't get why America doesn't want that?

Please explain.
I can't speak for all America. But I want healthcare reform that the country can afford. I don't want my childrens,childrens children to have to pay for my generations mistakes.

There are plenty of things that can be done to make healthcare more affordable for everyone. And hopefully now,the parties will look at some realistic solutions.
