I am curious to know why you would choose your current system vs. that of universal health care? Care to let us know your thoughts on that?
Pretty much you said it for me. Add 2 and 2 and you get why I would prefer to have people have to think about why they are going to the doctor rather than run in for every sniffle or hangnail.

I see it everyday.

There is a part of the American population that has free medical coverage provided by the government. The abuse of such *free* medical care is to me absolutely astounding. I can't imagine the clog in the clinics and hospitals if everyone had the opportunity to run to the doctor because their skin was dry and itchy or their child woke up with a slight fever. (teething)
