I know this topic has been discussed before on this site..but, I was curious for an updated response. How many of you would be willing to pay more taxes for universal healthcare? I find it egregious that the US has put a cost on maintaining/saving ones life! I traveled to Europe and the thought of them having to bring their checkbook to the hospital aroused literal laughs. It's the same notion that we'd have to whip out our debit card to firefighters before they turned the hoses on our burning homes. It's sad. I think the overall costs of UH would be beneficial...in fact, the raised taxes would still probably be lower than our rising premiums every 2 weeks! Thoughts?
Some people are here arguing minor details or how to implement things or make sure there is no fraud but these are just details. Overall, if we can come up with a lower cost, fraud proof system that is fair no one could deny that UHC would be better for this country... I even think Jolie would like it if it was run in a manner satisfactory to her.
Only if I got to be Supreme Queen of UHC. I've got a track record. You should see my department and household budgets! Not a penny of waste or fraud!
It's a beautiful Saturday. I'm outta here :)
Whooooooooooooo
How did this thread " Do You Want Universal Healthcare?"
turn into "Who do you want for US President?"
Please take all the political discussion to our Current Events forum.
Closing for timeout review.

I'm almost afraid to ask: What "should" one's vote be based upon?
