Yes. As should everybody else. Lack of health care access in the US is shameful.

Definitely agree. We pretend it's an economic issue to have universal health care, but really it would help our economy in so many ways.
The only ones it's an economic downer for are the insurance companies.

I certainly support universal solutions for universal problems like healthcare which everyone needs and can benefit from sharing the risk, and the rewards of a healthy community.
But ignoring the balance sheet of the insuring entity (company, pool, whatever) will only insure that people don't get that healthcare. It still has to be paid for.
