When it comes to universal health care, many naysayers dismiss the notion out of hand, in large part because they believe it will lead to higher taxes, and we Americans are all about not paying taxes.
What I don't understand is why those same people can't see that paying $5,000 or $10,000 a year -- and sometimes much, much more than that -- just for the pleasure of having a health insurance policy that includes a deductible and co-pays and exclusions and denials of care, is actually far worse than any tax. If we had a decent universal health care plan, all of that would go away.
The bottom line is this: For profit health insurance companies are not in the business of paying health insurance claims. They are in the business of making money.

I agree with you. The biggest issue is not cost, but availability of individual health insurance with medical underwriting. Insurance co's reject 90% of applicants for individual polocies.
