Promises of universal health care roll off the tongues of several presidential candidates but how do they plan to achieve it? Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, Director of the Clinical Bioethics Department at the U.S. National Institutes of Health, says he's got the solution, in the form of an innovative and crowd-pleasing voucher plan.

"I think the universal part appeals to the Democrats. The voucher part appeals to Republicans. And I think it should make us one big happy family," Dr. Emanuel tells David Brancaccio in a web-exclusive interview.

1. Kind of like mating a mermaid to a satyr.

It's gonna be one fucked up critter.

2. If I were King, I'd outlaw the word "voucher".

I am so sick and tired of it. And enough with the 'tax-credit' BS as well.

Just give this American citizen single-payer, and stop trying to beggar me and smoke-n-mirror me all the time.

3. "everybody in America gets a voucher to buy health insurance"

F*ck this!

Yet another bullshit argument to keep the INSURANCE COMPANIES right in the middle. Hey Doc, can I assist you in pushing this voucher in a deep dark crevice on your body? :grr:

4. Nationalize the Insurance companies! n/t
