Still...
I'd like to see something done to help out those without decent healthcare, and it's fine with me if that initiative comes from the government.
However, having said that, whatever we decide to do (or whatever is decided for us) has to be grounded in reality if it is to have any chance of success, and a big part of that reality is financial. If it's not fiscally sound, it will fail.
In that light, I think it'd be prudent for us to consider a non-universal system. People like me, who don't need it, shouldn't be covered by it.
And we should proceed without illusions. Socialized medicine, with which I've had years of experience, is far from perfect. We'll be addressing one set of problems while at the same time invoking another.
