I don't know which is worse socialism or communism.

I agree RickyMouse. The potential benefits in several areas of our personal insurance, and increase in discretionary income, would make the additional taxes a good investment.

Yes it would be a huge shift.
A huge shift toward communism.
And I dont see why my tax dollars should be wasted on others peoples health.
So to answer your questions: 1 No and 2 At least 30$.

I'm all for this, where could we get decent health insurance for four grand a year. It doesn't need dental, it could be like medicare is, I actually pay about a hundred bucks a month extra for part b and the Part D is covered by the wifes old employer and we pay about seventy bucks each for that..
Remember, if we had universal health care, we would not need health coverage on our auto insurance policies, our workers comp would not be so high, our employers could give us a raise if they paid for health insurance, and our homeowners insurance would be a little cheaper. On top of that, if it went total socialist, the doctors would not need to pay high premiums on their insurance, the government could do what other countries do, have a committee to look at things and limit liability.
We have a really screwed up health system, based on the staffof Hermes not the staff of medicine. I think that we should change this. I am sure a lot of doctors would agree, some are getting stressed out because of all the fibs they have to do to support medical trade jobs
