Trust me i do. It can mean any number of things. Anywhere from unibersal basics and supplemental private insurance if you want it all the way to full blown socialized medicine where the governmentis the sole provider and controller of the industry.
all 'universal healthcare" says is that there is no one who doesnt have some level of access to healthcare. You get into the to what extent, for what procedures, prescriptions, etc. later.
but back to my earlier post. A lot of this stuff I believe has a lot to do with the psychology of our nation. More and more we are becomeing an instant gratification society that believes it is entitled to more and responsible for less. At some level we are advocating that a certain lvl of care be free, yet healthcare is still a commodity which needs to be paid for. When the government pays for something it's really you, John Q Taxpayer that's paying for it. By extention that means while you think you are entitled to healthcare you're also making it someone elses responsiblity, essentially asking someone else to pay for something that have nothing to do with that only you will see the benefits of. Ragardless of whether it's emphazima cause you smoked all your life are got hit by cancer's roulette wheel your health is not my responsibilty and you need to plan for it accordingly
