universal healthcare is about using less than a week's pay altogether in copays for the treatment of a severly sprained ankle including:

1 ER visit with x-rays,
3 doctor's visits,
1 MRI,
1 visit to an orthopedic specialist,
arthroscopic surgery,
2 rounds of physiotherapy - 22 visits before surgery, 14 visits and counting after
5 paid weeks off work to reconvalesce.

I've never been so happy to live where I live (the country Michael Moore put in the extras of Sicko rather than in the movie because he didn't think anyone would believe it was true) in all my life.
