JF, > No, the first to get it would be the health insurance companies. From my point-of-view, health insurance companies are already struggling to cut costs here and there or pass them to their customers in several forms. Universal health care will essentially replace health insurance companies (though they may still be allowed to exist depending on which universal health care model we follow). But I don't see government figuring it out any better than the insurance companies. Tenchusatsu
