Amnesty, Obamacare and history

As someone who opposed Obamacare and amenity, excuse me, the Affordable Care Act and Comprehensive Immigration Reform, there is simply history to show why they never work. Single payer systems (Canada) and socalized medicine (United Kingdom) have shown how to not maintian helath care, much less improved it. With that said, I found this in STRATFOR interesting. From an article this mooring, The Crisis of the European Common Market:
...The free movement of people is the principle that allows EU citizens to travel to or live and work in any member country. It has come under threat from several governments and political parties in Europe. In the United Kingdom, the conservative government of Prime Minister David Cameron is analyzing ways to prevent the arrival of Romanian and Bulgarian workers, who will be allowed to work legally in the United Kingdom starting next year. According to the British government, those workers would collapse the British healthcare system. In countries such as France, Sweden, Finland and Denmark, parties that reject immigration are gaining ground...
OK. Bringing in a large number of immigrants into a county will collapse the health care system. Would that happen here? Naa. It's not like we're about to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens...oh, yea, we are. But they won't get access to Obamacare's free health care...well, I think they will.

Gotta love this. And you wonder why the Congress is held in utter contempt.
