Many aren’t aware of the sacrifices and trade-offs that will have to be made:
In fact, a majority of Americans are relatively satisfied with their own health care. So they feel that “they have something to lose on a day-to-day basis” if the current system changes, said Blendon.Moreover, when respondents answer relatively simple survey questions, they often do not consider all possible implications of health care changes. Support for reform efforts can then evaporate when people hear about limitations on benefits, increases in premiums or taxes and other necessary trade-offs.

Kevin, your continued campaign against universal health care seems odd, given your dissatisfaction with the current system. Do you have an alternative, or is it simply “Pay me more for less work?”
“Pay me more for less work?”
?!?!?!?
Is there a doctor out there who’s doing LESS work these days? If so, I’d like to know where, so we can move there and my husband can spend a little more time with his family….
