Cynthetiq don't forget that if there were universal health care your employer would no longer have to pay for their workers insurance. Much of that savings would likely be passed on to the employees as raises (at least at the good places to work). So well your taxes may go up so would your income. My work pays around $1800 a year for my health insurance and I pay an additional $200 and my insurance sucks big time. I would welcome an additional $2000 in my pocket and health insurance on top of that. I'm sure my taxes wouldn't go up that much. Ohh yeah I hope you realize we are paying about $400 per person per year for the Iraq war....... thats probably more than universal health insurance would cost. Why should I be paying for someone else's war?
