I don't know how I feel about universal coverage.
I have really good health insurance NOW, but I went for 18 months without coverage after the baby was born (he took my spot on the plan - adding a 3rd person was an insane $ jump). Finally, I got off my ass and got regular coverage with a small monthly bill on my own.
I would hate to see my quaility of service decline because 40 million people climbed on free. On the other hand, I have 2 neices (with lazy parents) without coverage and I worry about them a lot, and know that someone who would cover them would take away that worry.
Actually though, seeing as hilary failed in 1993 with her efforts and quickly got in bed with big medicine, I think nobody will get it accomplished and its all lip service.
