Socialized medicine wouldn't be a bad idea here in the States. England provides a choice and we should consider this. You never see anyone in in England unable to get medical services, however, here it's an all too frequent topic. I'm very happy to see that we're making headway though, at least with children.

For some reason 'community' is a bad word in the USA.
