This article is fantastic. From what politicians have been arguing and stating, socialized healthcare is seen as the save all for the health care question. This article really pointed out the negatives of socialized health. The patient that was denied 48 times, the man who by luck and Timely Alternatives found out his symptoms were that of a brain tumor. The uninsured can really present a problem for healthcare, but so can forcing patients to wait a ridiculously long time.
