Why the hell are seemingly intelligent people so against great affordable medical care? WTF is wrong with them?? Do they like OVERPAYING for healthcare, meds, dentists etc?? Why can't Americans have something like this:

I went to my dentist in San Jose for the repairs. Sadly, he also found a cavity. The work (full cleaning, x-rays (full set), the two new crowns and the cavity) were done in two appointments and my TOTAL bill was $180.00. I paid over double that amount when I was in the US for just the one crown that had cracked! My brother had bridgework done and 21 crowns and HIS bill was just under $800.00. In the US, his work may well have been $20,000 plus!
