I'm all for universal health care here, as I think the biggest problem with our system is people who are afraid to go to work and lose their state-covered health care.

Only pregnant mothers and seniors have state-covered health care. Everyone else can go to the ER, hospital will bill them, and then never collect (IF the person doesn't have money). Health care for these people is subsidized by paying customers. "40Million people without healthcare" is a myth. 40million people may not be covered by insurance, but they surely wont be denied care, its against the law.

My friend has diabetes. She got a job with a small company and her health insurance was going to be like 3/4 of her salary. That's nuts.

That's life. At least the company was willing to cover 25%.
My stepdaughter has Type I diabetes and all care is paid out of pocket.
Emergency Care IS a right by law in the U.S. (which has bankrupted some hospitals.)
Rich people get better care than poor people just like they get better automobiles.
