While I oppose such nationalization of the insurance industry, but it does make a lot more sense than having private insurance companies with mandates to give quality coverage to people who already have severe and expensive conditions, at low prices.

If universal health insurance coverage trumps all other concerns, than you either have the government provide insurance for everyone or you have it provide insurance for the poor and the poor risks.

Of course it isn't the only concern, or one that trumps everything else...

And that's the reason we need to take it out of the hands of the insurance companies, as the other industrialized nations have done.

So you want to put charity in the hands of the government rather than the insurance companies?

I have been rather fond of the concept of private charity. I think it would be a shame for society to lose it.
