Reply #79: Yeah, like the doctors would ever get paid.

The state is notorious for taking its own sweet time paying doctors and hospitals. Doctors are human too. How long would you do your best job without being paid in a timely manner?

On top of that, why should people with health insurance be forced to give it up?

Universal health care is a great idea, but not as this plan was written. In the UK people have the option of buying private insurace in addition to the state run program. If people want to pay more in addition to paying into the state system, let them.
