Daniels may have said he favored universal coverage; he did NOT say that that would come from Government.

Talk about spinning....

Where else would Universal Coverage come from?

Who else would enforce it except the Government?

Are you serious?

There are a number of ways you can have universal service without government intervention.

In fact, the efforts to provide it following Bismarck's model (through employers) probably resulted in some serious delays in a normal development.

It's like this, I have universal grocery store service. They're all over the place. I pick and chose on a daily basis.

I have universal "road service' and over time there's been a mix of local, state, national or private vendors 'road service'.

What you guys get hung up on is the issue of PAYMENT. Neither payment nor medical insurance constitutes medical care.
