The thing that is kind of funny to me is that the only Americans who have socialized health care are either in the military or are military dependents. If I have a problem then chances are that I will just go to the doctor down the road as it is far more convenient than going all the way to the Naval hospital as I do still have regular health insurance but if I go to Portsmouth Naval then I don't have to pay a dime for treatment and the price for meds is cheaper than through my regular insurance. *BUT* not all military hospitals are of the same caliber, some are downright sucky, others are first class.

The odd thing though is that veteran's hospitals still send you an invoice saying what it would have cost you if you were a normal person (though regular military hospitals do not do this).
