The problem with endtime's argument is that it's a non-sequitur. It comes down to:

> There is a country where government-run healthcare is bad. Therefore a proposed government-run healthcare system is probably also bad.

This simply doesn't follow. I could make the same argument backwards by pointing to a country where government-run healthcare works well, and concluding that therefore universal healthcare in the US is going to be awesome.

endtime is demonstrating his/her sentiment, but does nothing to advance the discussion.

I was responding to a comment which said:

> No. There is a very large number of people in the US who are (for whatever reason) against universal health care.

I was responding specifically to the "for whatever reason" part, giving an example of a reason.
