What do you think of the idea of providing people with universal health coverage in the U.S.?

It sounds good, but is it really? People think it is free, but it is not. It is paid by the taxes we pay and they would have to be raised enormously to pay for it. A friend of mine who lives in Canada, was having chest pains and went to a doctor. The doctor said he needed heart surgery. He was put on a waiting list. They thought they could get him in six months. He had a heart attack and that moved him up on the waiting list and he had the operation right away.
