Thanks. May be next time I should describe myself as Social Democracy then.

Most people hate socialist. Which I describe myself as being one. I am all for national healthcare and education. If it wasn't Obama I would not have known there are countries without healthcare. Same goes to education. Although tuition fees for university is debatable.

I could not understand why even healthcare is on socilist side. May be capitalist should also get rid of Police, fireman etc these kind of public services?

But I am all for free market with hopefully minimum restrictions.

what exactly is left, what exactly is right?

?

You must be living in a bubble if you did not know other countries had socialized medicine. In fact, almost all modern nations do.

You should also be weary: I live in a country with socialized medicine, and it's not very good. If I pay a doctor to help my I go to jail.

It's a paradox: America has the best healthcare, but it's very expensive, and not everyone has it.

Most nations have 'parallel systems' and it works out ok, like Germany and the Netherlands.

I was speaking from Non-US citizen prospective. Never knew US dont have National Healthcare until this ObamaCare thing.
