Do you believe in "free" health care for all if you have to pay 10% to 40% more on your taxes?

I don't see how paying more in taxes makes this free. We're PAYING more... It may be cheaper than private insurance.. but it's still not "free". I call that false advertising!

That doesn't happen in the US either.  Do some research.

We have free health care in the UK and it works just fine. Sure, some people have to wait years for hip replacements and the like, but on the whole, in emergency situations, the NHS is amazing, and free. No one is left to die on the streets like in the US

You're right!  Probably the largest reason we have a healthcare crisis now is because there's too MUCH govt. regulation, not too little (Michael Moore doesn't know what he's talking about)

I agree somthing needs to be done but I do NOT believe the federal government is the solution! Uncle Sam is part of this problem. Futher govenment control is the last thing we need.

I already only pay about 2% of my paycheck for good insurance; I'm not picking up the bill for others.
