So then you say there will be people not wanting a tax hike. I can see that as an issue. But I would say that for most people a 3% tax hike is way cheaper than their whole family's medical costs for 1 year.
Don't quote me but I think I saw that USA is the only developed country that doesn't have a system like this? Surely that says something about whether it works or not.
And one last thing - one other huge benefit is to people with Pre-Existing conditions. They are treated equally and never denied treatment.

I'm not really sure how that's going to work here. I wouldn't want a 3% tax hike. And yes, our system is unique. Yet time and time again people from all over the world flock here because they are tired of their "universal health care".
The only thing I agree with you is the pre-existing conditions. I want that to be passed in health care reform because I hate insurance companies and the way they dick people over. But I hate the idea of the government taking over health care even more, especially with our weak economy.
