Actually my real fear is universal healthcare will let any joe blow utilize an already stressed system = longer wait times, higher costs, lower quality of care. Just ask canadians that need any specialized help, they can't get it!

Just looked through two different US insurance policies and it's listed as "Unacceptable Medication" meaning as well as refusing a pre-existing condition they wouldn't pay for it later either even if a policy was taken out before diagnosis. |
Most of those complaining are happy because, today they can afford their medical insurance. However if they lose their job, ability to pay or for any reason the Insurance company denies their cover. They will change sides.
The American system is simple. "I'm all right Jack, so fuck you if you're not."
The problem is, it can become.
"I'm not alright now and I'm fucked."
