Universal Healthcare? Can it work? I'm doubtful...

The issue is simply that prices keep spiraling out of control, less and less people can afford it, and even if you HAVE insurance, you can't afford to get SICK. So what's the point in having it in the first place? The whole system needs to be redesigned to keep costs down. If you can show that the private market can do that, then I'm all for it. I have my doubts about that, though.

Hasn't insurance increased the cost of healthcare? They're just another middle man.
Wasn't it easier to see a doctor 100 years ago, before health insurance?
