Turbo04, as you can see earlier in this thread I felt just like you do.. it wasn't even the movie that changed my mind but rather the fact that this system can and does work. I talked to a friend in Canada and she just couldn't understand the notion of healthcare that is not affordable.. or why the people of a society cannot enjoy the equal benefit of healthcare. Her attitude on the issue changed my outlook.

Yes taxes will go up but at the end of the day if nobody has to worry about having to take a trip to the hospital, pay $20k for surgery and not be at the mercy of insurance corporations (whose interest is profit, not your wellbeing) then I'm more than willing.. those who have the means can pay low premiums, those who do not give what they can if anything.
