for the taxes: start looking where the taxes and the tax cuts go to and you'll find plenty of money for universal healthcare, but if you keep allowing bribery (campaign contributions) and pillaging of your state finances, you'll end up with no money leftover for healthcare, hell just revert back to the pre-Nixon system and you'll be better of
The US has a child mortality rate of a poor country, shouldn't that alone make anyone stop and think?

I'm not saying we don't have a problem. But our Medicare systems, and social security, ran by the Gov now is currently trashed, dieing, and fucked. So you aren't going to tell a bunch of Americans who already know this, that it's a good idea to let our Gov tell us how our medical systems should be ran.
Now that it's being ran correctly or good now. The point is you aren't going to convince Americans that they are better off by letting the Gov regulate everything.
And the US is #10 in the world for child morality rates, and #2 for the dev nationals putting uss ahead of many countries with universal medical systems. And even if we are lower here, we rank higher in many many areas than even the best medical care countries.
The U.S. needs a preventive medicine health care system for all income levels and the Insurance companies forced to not over charge for everything. We don't need poor people who won't work now, already living off the state/gov, taking more of my money and not giving anything back. You want to see where the jacked up American stats come from? look in these areas..
