But like I said earlier, the costs of emergency care and sunset care for the uninsured is being passed onto those of us who have insurance. (ie. through our employer who pays us less because of it)
Universal Care cuts out the waste and gets it all upfront. In the long run it should be cheaper for us all. And better for society as a whole.

1. No offense, but you're a grad student with an internship. Having been down that road before, I know what interns get paid. I'm also aware of how little (if any) taxes they pay. Are your contributions up to this point suffiecent with the health coverage you're wanting?
2. Universal HC cuts the waste???? Name me one govt program that's run smooth and effiecently.
Look, I hear what you're saying about the gaps. It would suck if, God forbid, something catastrophic should happen to you during that period. However, your solution doesn't match the problem. It's like trying to kill an ant with a flamethrower. It's overkill. Perhaps more affordable gap plans should be encouraged?
