You mean we should welcome the federal government -- incapable of fixing Social Security and lowering our taxes, stuttered and fell on its face during Katrina, desperately unable to vanquish the banana republic of Iraq -- into extending its incompetency into the maze of bureaucracy that is the health care system?
Universal health care: another massive disaster just waiting to happen. REFUSE to go along with this foolishness.

Ralph you must have some good insurance!
I am in!! I am going! Good heath care (or any heath care) should not be a luxury! It is a necessity!!
Hmmmm choice of the week.....
Feed my kids
or
go to doctor!
That should not ever be a thing any family should have to decide! But guess what everyday we do!!!!
Even people that have health care through there jobs are paying through the nose for it!!
I call that out of control!!
And this is not a small number of people!!
I think you are right the government is screwing up and this is one of it's biggest screw ups on record!! The fact that so many people across the country can not see a doctor is the biggest travesty!! They need to fix it just like they need to fix all the other screw ups you listed!!
This is a very large number of people that have NO HEALTH CARE! And this is not just the poor, this is the average Joe that works 2-3 jobs to make ends meet!! This is people that are not poor enough for state.
Even if you have good heath care it is your duty as a HUMAN BEING to want all to have that same security, that if they are sick they can go to a doctor!!
