Hate to say it, but basic universal healthcare at some point in the near future can almost be assumed at this point. The system is crashing under its own weight and it's too dangerous to have un-insured folks with all the nasty bugs running around. It'll probably be a multi-tiered system from very basic gubmint provided to high end, very pricey.

It's inevitable. I talked to one of my fellow roleplaying gamers in Israel and they do have a choice of public or private insurance. I also have a friend in Sweden and I like their healthcare system over there from what he told me. He can get into the doctor right away or almost so, like next day and pays something like a $15 co-pay (of course depending on the exchange rate). The trick is that can we make such a system that works for 6 to 8 million work for 300 million?

Universal healthcare is not a forgone conclusion. It will be billed that way - and by those who pretend at conservatism. They will try to shove it down people's throats against their will just as they've been trying for years to shove National ID cards and a Cashless society, down America's throat for years. They're beaten and constrained every time they try it; but, they keep trying it in an attempt to wear us all down apparently.

The way things are, the treason lobby has subverted the worker end of the supply and demand equation to support their own version of patriotism ("whatever makes them richer"). Thinking it a form of passivism to keep their own necks from stretching and while trying to convince America it will be 'good for them' just like no longer retiring is now a foregone conclusion foisted upon us as a take it or leave it.. they will grow more abusive and shift this nation from Republic to Socialist regime - because it's "profitable" - the ultimate patriotism in their minds.
It will not have the desired effect.. America has been vocal on these matters. And they will not stand for it.
