Sorry, I cannot vote any of them because I don't want any of them to happen.

As government keeps stealing more and more of the economy, the economy will crash. This will definitely happen if any of those promising national health care is elected.

If you have a healthy workforce, then productivity goes up. It's productivity that drives this economy. You should have taken Economy 101.

It does NOT work to provide healthcare of any quality to the people it's supposedly designed to provide such healthcare for.

Prime example is the NHS in the UK. Canada and many European countries have similar (though not as bad, because not as much centralised) systems in place which are also disaster zones.

When you hear you're on a 6 month waiting list for critical surgery without which you won't survive for more than a month or 2 you start to realise something's very wrong with the system.
That's pretty much what happened to my mom in 2002. She got lucky, someone in front of her on the list died and her doc pulled a lot of strings to get her moved up so she only had to wait a month in agonising pain, with a massive and rapidly growing tumour (it was thought, turned out to be harmless though no less painful) in her bowel, with a cathether directly into her bladder.

Or when you spend several hours on a gurney in the ER without anyone looking in on you after a heart attack because there's no room in the ICU and people are unable to find a hospital that will take you closer than an hour's drive away, as happened to my father.

Or spending a decade going from doctor to doctor before one makes the right diagnosis, as happened to my sister.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

most UK people are afraid to go to a doctor, as the chances are better than even that you'll end up worse before than after...

I think that in a decade from now, high school textbooks are going to be referring to the War on Terror as WWIII.

Define 'healthy', please.

The larger the tax bite is, the less there is for new investment...and, from what I understand, a smaller percentage of that will be actually used, as a large portion of that would also be subject to governmental confiscation/taxation. As a result, new products or services will most likely not be developed; the risk would likely be greater than the expected return would justify.
