Universal health care yes or no and why or why not?

I have insurance now, but I know friends who don't. When they get sick it seems they tend to get worse and worse because they are scared of the bills. I think universal health care would actually help a lot of people who don't have the means to get coverage otherwise.

Dear tambrerocks, I am with you all the way. I have health care, it comes right out of my pocket. but it would be so nice if everyone had health care for free. they could tax us each year like they do everything else to pay the doctors. it cost my son over 600 dollars when he got sick . nothing bad just a bad cold. they are hurting everyone . you know it don't cost that mush to see a doctor. they are getting rich off of us. while we are just trying to make a living.

I don't like going to the hospital and I never get sick so why should I have to pay for healthcare that I never use. I feel bad that people who have cancer cant afford the surguries they need So I think something needs to be done to help them but I do not belive that universal healthcare is the answer.
