In other words, people like me who have private health insurance wouldn't get the quality of care with universal health care. People that could afford private health insurance would get on an even longer waiting list if they needed a heart transplant...etc. with universal health care. You see this in all the other countries in the world that have universal health care.
Doctors make as much money as they do because it is so hard to become one, and the enormous amount of school loans you have to pay back if you become one. Who would want to be a doctor with universal health care? I know there would be a lot such as myself that might would have to reconsider that profession. I seriously might...I might go become an equine DVM instead.
