<<<If the 46 million uninsured were the the 46 million richest and best educated people in the country, would you think the number too large?>>> That represents about 15/16 percent of the population. The bottom 10% of that population are people with annual incomes (my own back of the envelope estimate, but regardless) of $100,000 per year and many of those are struggling to make ends meet. Universal coverage means everyone is covered. We would then not need to make any subjective judgments. <<<universal health care is not only a nuke on crabgrass, it is unfeasible long term. That I believe with certainty. Other than that, I'm receptive to proposals. >>> You refuse to acknowledge that universal health care coverage has been successfully implemented in more than 15 advanced nations in the western world. (edit:) Give me one example of a health care system that works and is not universal.
