I haven't read all the comments in this tread so forgive me if I repeat something already said. The only reason the US does not have universal health care is because the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies are crooks and have their hands in the pockets of government, or should I say government has their hands in the pockets of the insurance companies. I am totally for universal health care. I see no con. There are plenty of 'socialist' programs in the US, police, fire, schools, why not health care?
I do have health insurance at this time, but our cost threw my husbands employer have gotten so high we had to opt for the $1250.00 deductible and on top of that we have to pay a $40.00 co-pay and one my son's medications cost $125.00 for a 90 day supply. That's just the co-pay. I wonder how much that stuff costs someone without insurance who needs it? What's my son suppose to do when he is no longer covered under our plan? He has Aspergers Syndrom (autism), health insurance companies don't cover that.
