Let me put it this way. I've never spent a dime on health care. Ever. Neither has anybody I know. In fact, today my wife had an accident and we needed to find out if she broke her ankle. She had a doctor look at her, got x-rays taken, and had them analyzed all in less than an hour. She got top quality care and it didn't cost anything.
Another example, two weeks ago a friend's kid was climbing and fell and bounced his head of the corner of a table. They took him to the Sick Kids Hosptial, which happens to be the best in the world. He waited half an hour to be looked at, during which time a clown kept him calm. They patched him up and sent him on his way. No cost. No health insurance needed. Top quality care. That's what universal health care is all about.
