> Universal health care is a euphemism for the poor and sick getting their medical care subsidized by the wealthy and healthy.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the wealthy and healthy (who have health insurance) are already paying for the poor and sick, aren't they? Hospitals can't deny care to the poor and sick, so they inflate the costs of the wealthy insured to compensate for the poor's ER visits.
Universal health care would mean moving more ER visits to a primary care physician in a clinic, effectively _reducing_ the overall burden that the healthy and wealthy pay.
