Universal Health Care

This article was quite interesting. I saw a debate once between two very educated professors about universal health care. Although the professor who supported universal health care was much more popular and probably more educated overall, he clearly lost the debate once all was said and done. The guys in front of me who were from Germany were not very happy with the outcome. ;-) My thoughts: the government does a bad enough job with everything it is responsible for now, why give it more responsibility? Yes, change is definitely needed, but I doubt universal health care is the answer.
