go back and look at your sources... they all call for addition taxes to pay for the program.... which is exactly what i said would be necessary.:roll:
UHC might do lots of things.. debt reduction is not one of them.
without additional taxes to cover it, UHC would add to the deficit/debt... i'm not sure why you are disputing this very simple fact.
Of course it has to be paid for. Just like in the rest of the industrialized world. Were you expecting a free lunch? All the countries that have a single payer system have lower health care costs than we do with equal or better outcomes. When the US gets serious about debt, we will have to upgrade as all the others have done.
