Free healthcare isn't enough, we need more resources. My wife didn't die because of the cost of healthcare (though the insurance companies sure made our lives more miserable), she died because the hospitals near us were full up from the flu, they even had a tent setup that was full, and she had to be transfered all the way to another state for dialysis. She got a infection in her heart in the process and died from that. If there had been room here (we waited a week for her to be admitted) she would have been fine.
So we need more than free healthcare, we need MORE hospitals, and to invest more money in good healthcare for everyone (while also making it free). Obama set up a plan, but without increasing the amount of resources we had to go with it, it actually probably ended up causing more deaths over all.
I certainly am pro universal free healthcare, but we NEED more resources as well, and honestly first since most/many of the people who need healthcare now, currently have it through obamacare already.
Even if they built hospitals it wouldn't matter. The entire infrastructure is fucked. There's not enough public transportation.
