Well, here's the thing though, how can such a health care system be run, without resorting to something that might resemble a Socialist style program
Who cares if it's labeled Socialist? If it works, it works. Stop being afraid of buzzwords.
without enough profit to run efficiently run healthcare?
Any government program that made a profit would be, by definition, a failure.
Regardless of the style of healthcare, you do need enough money to see to a person's needs, and the health care costs are pretty much through the roof in America at this moment.
They're through the roof
because of the private insurance system that's in place right now. As was
already mentioned in the post you replied to, the price of treatments in countries with a universal system can be as low as 7% of the price for those same treatments in America!
How can you keep costs down without stepping on people's rights as well?
By implementing a universal health care system, of course.
That is one of the simple facts of reality, is that medicine and healthcare costs money to run.
Of course. So, which system is better at managing these things?

ABE: This topic is already being discussed in detail over in the
How Does Republican Platform Help Middle Class? thread, so I probably won't continue derailing this thread. We can head over there if you have more to say on health care.
