That's ridiculous. Living in a country with public healthcare, I can safely tell you that you don't have to worry about healthcare controlling the individual. Far from.
What you do have to worry about is the system itself. I can tell you that in Canada... I'm far from impressed with it. Long lines, long delays, poor service, huge shortage of doctors. I don't even have a family doctor because I can't find one; I couldn't even get a skin infection treated because the doctor I went to didn't know what it was and suggested waiting for a couple of weeks.
But frankly, I think a poor, sick person in both systems would BEG the liberals or whoever else to control them - if only it'd get them help. An American friend of mine is stuck with a grandmother who has an advanced case of Alzheimer's, and it's a terrible situation for them too, because they're stuck with a person they can't take care of themselves, and yet cannot afford care for.
Both sides need some solutions there, no doubt.
