I have worked with people from Europe and Canada. They love their healthcare system. In a perfect world, Universal Healthcare is a great solution. But, you have to be willing to accept the "cost." Countries with universal healthcare don't have the defense budget we have. Plus, don't be naive and think corporations and wealthy individuals will just "get taxed more and carry the burden." Corporations will move their HQ overseas. Wealthy individuals will either move to another country or find new tax shelters. How many corporations/wealthy individuals pay no taxes now. Do you honestly think that will change?
What I would hate to see is a two tiered system... most of us are under a universal healthcare system, and the wealthy are able to access physicians who have opted out of the universal system.
