I know some of them are boasting about it, but really...is it possible?

It is possible with a Democrat President and a Democrat Congress. Which we will more than likely have come the '08 election. We would have already had one if the "good ole boy Conservatives" had left Hillary alone when Bill was President.

Universal health care will only create another government agency that will hire unqualified liberals that are unable to find real jobs. As is the case with most public servants they use political contacts to get jobs they are not qualified for and do marginal work. The civil service exams were created to limit this type of activity but have been tainted by the political appointees already in place. How can they consider any test fair that asks questions about forms that only an employee would know about. Big brother at it again. Europe and Canada have learned how useless universal care is. Look at how people flock here to pay for treatment instead of waiting 6 months or more for simple treatments we can get in a few days.

Present healthcare system:
Working American has insurance, has short wait in doctor's office (1 hour average), gets good care.
Streetperson with tuberculosis has no coverage and is out of luck until he goes to emergency room.
Proposed universal healthcare system:
Working American pays for his own insurance plus that of the streetperson. Waits in doctor's office for 4 hours and gets seen by a physician's assistant instead of a doctor. Rushed treatment.
Streetpersons sits in same doctor's office as the working American and coughs his germs into the other's face for the whole time.
That's what it all about adds up to. Pros and cons with either system. It all really depends upon how badly you want that streetperson to sit with you in the doctor's office and pay for his treatment.

Having to wait 6 to twelve months for minor surgery is not high on my priorities. That is what you get with universal health care in Canada and most of Europe. You also fall under the control of politicians that put their friends first in picking expensive procedures. If you thought the old draft boards showed preferences it will not take long to learn how those that control health programs restrict most people from everything. Anytime government gets involved the efficiency goes out the door. NO UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FOR ME THANK YOU.

I don't think it is possible. The only way we could afford Universal healthcare is if they impose a 50% or more tax rate on Americans. And we don't want that at all. Don't vote for Hillary Clinton. She might do it too.
She wants to take the profits from you for the better good.

Health care must be a priority of the candidates so that people will have less money to spend in times of illness and emergencies.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

No, the majority of American will not accept the tax increase it will burden us with. And we will not destroy our economy more a few people who are uninsured and a bunch of socialist politicians. Sorry, but that is the reality of it.
