As stated, Billy, Universal Health Insurance, now really, that's sort of pie-in-the=sky, but not too bad an idea. I think Mitt Romney signed a bill into law in Massachusetts that will take effect soon requiring everyone be covered by Universal Health Insurance....meaning you don't have the option to NOT have health insurance...but of course, you have to pay for it.

As a solution to a problem, it's not too bad....it should bring down the cost of coverage for everyone in the state, so long as insurance carriers show up to provide the coverage, and because EVERYONE has to pay, it may lower costs for those paying far too much.

But it could very well backfire. Time will tell.

We all already have ACCESS to health care.... but you have to pay for it.

The notion that government could do a better job that the health care professionals we now have, and the insurance companies that provide the coverage is ludicrous. Everyone would be out lots of money, and long lines and waiting lists would ensue...

Is there a single government agency that you like and think is doing a GREAT job? Think about it...education? FBI? CIA? IRS? Homeland Security? Do you feel more secure? How about Social Security? Doing a great job?

huh?
