Thanks, I guess, for proving my post.  And, can you 'Imagine' the republican party of today to be the republican party of Lincoln, that is the meaning of 'audacity'.  Universal healthcare is a moral impeative...once again you establish jungle rules of law.  Since the Federal government is established to be 'of and for and by the people' it certainly is ordained to promote the general welfare, fully inclusive of universal healthcare.  Republican party as we have always known it resided by the mantra;  I've got mine, good luck to you.
