You're a great American! ;)
Thank you for posting this. But I have to say that I'm cynical on this particular issue--I think it's going to happen here because too many people see free health care as a "right". JMHO.
Expect Taxes to go way way up, or cuts in other department, usually military.
My brother in law in Boston pays about 8000$ per year on health insurance (YOUR HOSPITALS LOOK LIKE HOTELS, ours look like chicken farms) and when he adds what he pays in taxes + what he pays in Health Insurance, he is still way below the 48% I pay, and I do not make much, just over $50K Canadian.
Do NOT lose what you have, you have a great deal...
