**** that. Why should I have to pay more in taxes so some lazy ass that doesn't want to work has free health care? Also I don't buy the notion that it's everyone elses responsibility to ensure I live a long and healthy life....which is exactly what universal healthcare is saying/doing. I won't disagree that healthcare insurance is very very expensive...but there is an easy way around that....HSA's. Not only can you pay deductable's outta that but anyother healthcare expenses as well. Make it so that ppl who open and fund such accounts are given even more tax breaks for doing so. At least that encourages ppl to be responsible for their own lives. Granted it won't solve everyone's dliema about healthcare....but it is a so much better idea then passing the buck to the rest of a country's ppl to pick up the slack. I will NEVER vote for a candidate who supports universal healthcare. After all din't country/nations like soviet russia have some type of universal healthcare?
