Nobody would be happy with universal health care.

Lizzie, Politicians better come up with something because if they don't, it is almost assured that we will have universal health care thrust upon us and that is a HUGE entitlement program that will cost more in the long run vs. reaching some kind of compromise on healthcare now. It seems unlikely that any politician, or group of politicians, has ever even truly ameliorated any problem, let alone solved one. When medicine and healthcare consumption became separated from its payment through the employment tax subsidies in response to the wage and price controls of WWII, it became virtually inevitable that the entire healthcare system would eventually undergo total systemic failure if the government itself did not collapse first. No matter what name you give it, a medical system built on an ever increasing morass of government controls and mandates cannot survive. Regards, Don
