I agree with having a fully socialized system, but don't think that the bill that passed did anything to reduce cost or was a step in the right direction. It basically serves the insurance industry. Keep in mind that the bill requires future coverage for pre-existing conditions, but says nothing about what companies can charge in these cases.
When debating this point with friends I point out that the U.S. military uses what essentially is a socialized healthcare system. The argument made against this then becomes about scale in that a national system would be too difficult to enact. This of course is rubbish considering other nations that have established systems.
