Responsiveness isn't an issue to not give people healthcare... both countries all have some of the best medical care in the world in the public sector so how do you explain that? There are all kinds of flaws in any healthcare system doesn't matter public/private but it doesn't mean we shouldn't give people the chance to be covered.

ps i also have worked 6 years for the largest TPA on the east coast and my wife works in the industry as well every day so i do know a little bit about the inter workings of insurance, cost, and the issues.
