Universal Health Care has too many opponents to be just brought in over night. As I said before here, don't lose faith fellow DUer's. There will be a weak form of it introduced, as it was in Canada years ago by Tommy Douglas. He knew it was impossible to bring it in over night, but brought it in in Saskatchewan, and it caught on over a period of many years, and became firmly planted in that country today.
Funny, I saw a sign at the teabagger thing on TV that said, "If we bring in Universal Health Care, where will the Canadians go for treatment?" ... something to that effect. My sign would read: " Well,... uh... Canadians HAVE health care, stupid, they don't come here, and if they do... it's covered!"
