Brenda,
I'm with you on this one! Universal Health Care is nothing more than socialized medicine. I have had experience with it while living overseas and would definitely not want to deal with it here in the United States. I see what has happened to my medical care since I had to go on Medicare and not due to cancer. I also have my original health care plan. All you have to do is look at how Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are run and you realize that socialized medicine is not the answer for the U.S.
