Fully taxpayer funded health and education would be the sign of a civilized country.

I believe we should get rid of health insurance companies

Hold that  thought. I am having a disagreement with my fund at the moment. I will withhold comment until it is resolved.

You don't REALLY want the Government doing everything. It would be too Cumbersome and people tend to build empires/careers out of a Roundabout. Keep Corruption OUT of things. Shine Lights in dark places. Keep Em Honest. Follow the Money Trail.  Nev

Not everything but health and education are more expensive under private systems.

As always, insurance companies need to make a profit for their shareholders so it stands to reason that they will overcharge and under deliver whenever they can get away with it.

Our family health cover is around $450/month and we're with one of the better ones. I would much rather pay that in extra taxes and have the public health system improved than give it to overseas investors.

The USA is a perfect example of the worst way to do health care.
