Guys... I don't want to derail this thread too much more than has already been done, but as blistering silence mentioned, the only government run hospitals are in the VA system.
Secondly, Liberal-Slayer, the reason why healthcare sucks in this country is because we spend almost as much on the military as we do on health and human services.
All these other countries that have socialized healthcare spend more on healthcare than anything else. Because we decide to be the world's police, our healthcare system suffers at the hands of greedy insurance companies and sue-happy patients.
So really, this staph problem is just the tip of the iceberg. As long as we are neck deep in defense funding, we'll continue to have shitty and expensive healthcare with providers that can dick us over for the slightest reasons.
Oh yeah, your dad and everyone else will still have to pay a shitload in taxes too, because of all this as well.
