Well, hopefully the senate has the brains to say no. Canada is just one example of how horrible the universal health-care is. Look at Great Britain...oh and how about our very own Medicare and Medicaid. Any time government gets involved, well, it's like constipation, bloated and painful, with no benefits whatsoever.


sorry coudnt agree less...america is the only "wealthy, industrialized nation that does not ensure that all citizens have coverage" (i.e. some kind of insurance).America still psends the most amount of money per person on health

And we're passing a bill that will probably raise that amount... so... I don't see how it's going to help that.

Which is the issue.  Government run healthcare will actually cost us even mroe when it comes to healthcare spending as apart of GDP.  America spends more then europe despite not having a universal system because America is a lot different then europe in many ways.
