Well, I've had individual healthcare for seven years and I personally don't want it imposed on me, much less on those who are less well off than I am or who have heath problems.
I brought up McCain because McCain has proposed individual healthcare for those the insurance companies want to cover, which wouldn't be the person who lays out his tale of woe, and government run healthcare for people like him when the insurance companies refused to cover him.
What I find intriging is your view that the US is too large to provide healthcare for everyone. Is that because you think there is a limit on the number of insurance companies?
Or do you think that if insurance companies were required to offer at least one policy that provided a basic minimum of care to everyone who applied with no denial for any reason at all, and the only basis for competition between companies was their level of service and their policy price, all insurance companies would stop offering coverage?
