Would you be willing to have a slightly higher chunk come off of your paycheque in order to have universal health care?
Before you answer that, consider this: You would no longer have to pay a monthly fee for health insurance. From what I've seen posted of insurance fees among Americans I'm going to say most people pay anywhere from $300/mth up to over $1000/mth. I'm betting that most (assuming most are right in the head that is) would choose a slight increase in deductions and NOT have the monthly fee any longer.
Also consider that should you need surgery or an extended stay in hospital there would no longer be a bill nor anything owing, no "deductible" amount owing etc. I've heard and read first-hand accounts of people getting a bill for $20K because their health insurance provider only covers 80% of the total. Never again under UHC.
And no longer would people currently deemed "not eligible" have to worry about not getting insurance coverage. Everyone would be covered, period.
To me the choice is obvious.
