A couple more things to add related to the "concept" of this thread:
a) This is not a pro/con Universal Healthcare thread. If that is the type of comment you would like to make, please don't as there is another thread for that. This is a thread to see if "reform" to our healthcare system can be achieved with a system that would be favorable to most people (I realize nothing is ever going to appeal to 100% of us).
b) If you have an idea that might appeal to both sides, that doesn't revolve around Universal Healthcare, please give us your idea. Universal Healthcare isn't the only idea, it just happens to be the one, for now, that has generated the most support from "both sides of the aisle".
c) Hardline stances aren't going to help much. Our current system isn't perfect and a universal system isn't perfect, the "truth" will most likely fall somewhere in between. We are looking to see if we can come up with a design that makes both sides comfortable with it.
d) Police ourselves. If you see the thread getting out of hand, jump in. If you see someone trying to take the thread way off topic, then jump in.
