We're ALL paying for universal health care now. We pay more for health care as a percentage of our GDP than any industrialized county. And yet we have less health care. This is largely because we do not have universal health care.

So universal by force is the solution...
No...the whole premise of making it cheaper is based on the idea that 20-somethings who are not likely to get sick will pay more into the system than they use. That is not cheaper for them. Which means it is not cheaper for All...just some.
