OOOh a whole dollar a week more. I think I can handle that. You know that is all it would take. A well organized plan that includes insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, as well as the general public, business leaders, and Congress all getting together I am sure we can come up with some compromise that will have everyone paying something except the totally destitute. How much they pay may depend on what they can afford to pay. We must also look at preventive medicine rather than paying only after someone must go to the emergency room. We must control the amount of money someone can sue a medical provider for in case of mal practice. It shouldn't and isn't likely to be totally paid for by taxpayers. All the right wing scare tactics accomplish nothing. They cry and moan and complain but offer no alternative. The fact is our healthcare system is broken, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that. But instead of coming up with a workable solution the right just complains about what few proposals have been made.
They don't like talking about this or any other issue as they usually lose either because their idea stinks or they have no plan at all.

Yes, yes I would... when you think of it.. if each and every working person payed a percentage of their gross wage... it would not be so very much. How much you make would depend on how much you paid.. the wealthy would pay the most.. and there is no reason they could not afford to.
i would be happy to give a little more if it would help some needy kids or people so very sick and yet unable to afford the care they need.
The only problem I see would be the regulating of it. Once this money got into the hands of the government.. God only knows what it would be used for.. also there would have to be a rating board so that someone who didn't need it, did not take advantage. It should be those who really can't help themselves.

Yes. The corporations are getting welfare, and the rich are always looking for ways to cut their taxes. I would even agree with universal health care because there a lot of people who are working but don't have health care through their employers. I feel sorry for them.

If it means other people don't have to worry about whether or not their insurance would cover necessary procedure--i.e., a form of universal health care for working and nonworking people--maybe. I had a health crisis a few weeks ago, and I am hoping like heck my insurance pays it all. I'd pay a little extra for peace of mind if I knew my bills would be paid if I have to go to the ER with chest pains again.
Besides, I'd rather it go to the poor than to subsidies and tax breaks for billion-dollar corporations.

No but, as alarming as it is to see myself type this I would be willing to pay a little extra to sterilize drug addicted, non-working, welfare mothers and the dirt bag men who father the kids.

an over-simplified question garnering simple answers from simple minds.
the fact of the matter is, we work 4 months out of the year to largely line the Fed (and the international banking cartel's) pockets with our tax dollars for poor domestic investment in infrastructure, far below average federally subsidized public schools, and war profiteering.
a better question would be: 'would you consider restructuring the tax distribution to include universal health care, but eliminate the mis-managed priority denomination of the current pay out structure?'

No, I have a right to private property (my money). Therefore it is unconstitutional to deprive me of one of my rights to pay for somebody else's medical bills. It is also unethical, inefficient, immoral, and unamerican. Universal health care is one of the worst ideas in human history.
