I have some problems with socialized medicine, or universal healthcare, whatever it's called today, and I would like someone to help assuage my concerns. And maybe I'll consider voting for a candidate that supports it.
1. Socialized medicine has been billed as "free health care for all" (at least by Michael Moore). I believe that "there is no such thing as a free lunch" and "you get what you pay for". Someone's going to pay for it, and I already don't like paying taxes towards abused social programs; so how can this program happen without a massive tax increase?
2. The gov't is involved in education, social security, transportation, and none of those systems are considered successful. What about S.M. makes anyone think this will work?
3. Liberals hate George Bush, conservatives hate Hillary Clinton. I don't like the idea of Hillary being in charge of my health care, just as I'm sure libs don't want President Bush in the same position. What is the answer to that?
