I personally think universal health care is inevitable,

Look at the language you use..."inevitable"...conservatives in both congress and senate go further and consider it unacceptable, socialist, and a collection of other choice references. How does one find compromise on that basis?

So when people say that the GOP had no role in this, i say it's completely their fault. They chose to have no role. Jim Demint never wanted a role. Grassley feigned one, etc...

How much should it cost to cover the 30-40 million Americans who don't have health insurance? Probably a lot less than $100 billion per year, which is what the current health care bill will cost (and won't even cover all of them).

How do you conclude that $100B is too high? I think the national average for HC is $6.7K/person. Simple math...30M x $6700 per head = $201B...
