To lower costs..lower costs? Okay...
Anyway, I agree that the number one issue facing the U.S., in terms of health care, is poor personal choices. No amount of money of access to health care will change that. You'll notice that the number 1 cause of infant mortality is lack of neonatal care, you'll also notice that I posted a page of at least 15 differant, totally seperate places in my area that offer FREE neonatal care... Access is not the issue.
The issue is the social agenda of the left. You'll also notice that those who favor UHC dodged that issue completely<snip>
