Yes, that would be especially beneficial for children and seniors. Look at Canada's national health care system....

I don't think so! Medical care in this country is a huge racket. Pharmaceuticals especially! If medical care was provided by the gov't, it would become standardized and health care "professionals" would become even more inadequate and useless. Hell No! Just look at our educational system.
Most of the people who complain that they can't afford insurance-and expect it to be provided-are just irresponsible. If they do not value medical care enough to forgo cable television and dsl (for example), and purchase their own insurance, then they cannot continue to assert that a civilized society cannot do without it.
In case that made no sense: Put your own money where your mouth is.

Well..I don't agree with having taxes raised. The reason is, anytime our taxes are raised, it does not benefit us as promised before they were raised. I think the taxes go into the higher authority's pockets. It's all about greed, it's not all about the people.

I think that would be a disaster. Everyone need to pay their fair share. It can be helped with a national sales tax.. I know poor will pay more than they are paying now. But many are just sucking blood out of the system.

How much more tax increases do you want the American public to pay. Why don't you pay my taxes. Nevermind, just raise 'em to your hearts content. Are you a Republican? You must be.

No thank you. The government already screws too much up; giving them health care is a recipe for disaster.
If I wanted to live in Canada, I'd move there.

Look at other countries that have done that. I don't know if they have any better care than what we are already doing.
