Universal Healthcare, Unhealthy?

We have all heard the talk about how everybody deserves healthcare. No, not everybody deserves healthcare, it is a privilege. If you work you pay for your coverage and your families coverage under the health insurance your employer provides. Under universal healthcare the government provides this service for you and they get the money to pay for this from, you guessed it, you and me the tax payers. If you look at Canada or any other country that has universal healthcare you will see that you will be very limited in the service you need. In Europe there is a waiting list for the waiting list. Some people go weeks, months and even years waiting to have surgery for whatever illness they have and some end up dying in the process. If you remember just not long ago Natasha Richardson died from a blow to the head from a skiing accident. Although she refused treatment at the scene she complained of headaches not long after and was rushed to the hospital, but the drive took 2 hours. They had to drive because Canada did not have enough money to buy the helicopter needed for such a transport. When they arrived at the hospital they found out the hospital did not have the equipment to run the appropriate tests so they had to drive to another hospital. If she was here in the United States more than likely she would not have died. So, I ask you, do you think universal healthcare is a good idea?
