Interesting. I have always believed conservatives tend to be more the business owners, the motivated etc. Its true here, infact as a multiple business owner I tend to side more with conservative ideals than with liberal ones, and the same is true amongst my peers.

As for the topic, I think it is great news ... no reasons why poor people would have the same healthcare as rich people ....
I believe everyone should have access to free at least basic health care. Along with an education, a police/fire service etc i think its a basic human right that your government is supposed to supply everyone. You want top of the line care with no wait at all then you fork out money for insurance, but you know you can walk into any hospital and get seen to without having to worry about the $50,000 bill that will land in your letterbox a week later.

The problem with the US system is its so broken, and the health industry is so entrenched, I honestly don't see how you guys can fix it. My health insurance bill for my visit there next year is more than my plane tickets and accomodation cost.
