Many of those that are uninsured are young people uninsured by choice. Individual hospital insurance is available from Blue Cross for as little as $125 a month.
National health coverage will surely cost more. Look at Europe, they are taxed on everything from gas, at $8 a gallon, to clothing to provide their "free" government coverage.
I do not pay much more for a $1,000,000 catastrophic umbrella policy that covers whatever in not covered by my basic insurance.
