So, in summary, it sounds like people are peeved because the US healthcare system is somehow unfair, and that under a Universal Health Insurance system everyone would be equal. In theory I can see this being true.

However, the reality is, that when it comes to health, we ARE NOT equal.

I go to the gym 4 days a week, don't over eat, don't smoke and rarely drink. I have never done drugs. Meanwhile my fellow Americans are the most obese country on earth.

I think under these conditions, Universal Health Insurance could be extremely unfair to me, or to anyone who takes an active interest in their health. If anything it only gives companies incentive to drop coverage...after all you are already insured by the gov't.

So until, people stop smoking, drinking, and eating too many Doritos.... I just can't get behind any universal plan.
