In the context of how universal health care is being sold to the public, it does.

I have seen the following promised benefits of universal health care:

- Fewer uninsured people.
- Higher quality, more personal health care.
- Lower costs.
- No one will be denied services.
- Fewer malpractice cases.
- Less control by Big Pharma and Big Insurance.
- Longer life expectancies.

Most liberals on this thread think universal health care will bring all of that. If it doesn't, that just means it's not being implemented right.

Like I said, "panacea."
