I didn't complain about the healthcare I had prior to Obama but there was some weird-online push for "universal healthcare" which was Europeans trolling the States.

Universal healthcare - free for all - will not happen in our lifetimes. Doctors and highly-trained medical practicioners want to get paid. So everyone can forget that.
On the flip side, healthcare is way way too expensive. It's a for-profit business. Practicioners and hospitals charge exorbitant amounts to insurers, and insurers raise their premiums continuously. They're all making bank. But without that drive for profit innovation stifles. There is no desire for R&D.
We are not advanced enough as a species to want to go through many years of vigorous schooling and training to become doctors purely for the good of our fellow men, or pharmaceutical companies interested in researching
cures and not just
treatments (the money is in treatment not the cure.)
I'm sure there's a small handful of doctors and others that are genuinely interested in helping their fellow man instead of making bank but they're few and far between.
