The push in the United States for what is being called "Government Funded Insurance" is nothing short of socialized medicine. Having been exposed to socialized medicine whle living overseas I'm extremely thankful that here in the United States we have private insurance. There are hundreds of insurance companies, all of which are different. Some have good reputations and some don't. Having socialized medicine is not the answer and it certainly will not be free! This is my personal opinion and everyone of us is entitled to their opinion.
