proposal

In order to insure humane treatment of illegal immigrants and poor American citizens, I propose that we, as a nation, switch to socialize our emergency-care programs. That is, to allow the government to control hostpital's emergency care, or to set government owned emergency care centers around the nation. These emergency care places will offer free treatments and diagnoses of any patients, and they will not be allowed to question the citizenship of these patients. With this new emergency health care program in place, poor Americans and illegal immigrants won't have to stay at home and suffer when they have an injury they can't afford. Free universal health care should be provided by a society, not by patients' wallets. Many believe socialized health care is a beginning of a "red" invasion. I assure you, it is in no way connected to communism, it is simply a way for the government to help the needy and helpless. Also, with the prevention of future epidemics and outbreaks, this new medical plan would have an undrastic change on American tax dollars. It seems we can prevent our own citizens from recieving inhumane treatments without spending a dime.

I am a bit confused on your proposal. First off, where is the money coming from that will produce a universal health care? Nations such as Canada have universal health care because their tax is somewhere around 50% of their income. How would you address this issue? Also, if government controls hospitals, how would this socialized medicine work? Maybe I'm not getting what you are proposing. My main concern is where this money is coming from?
