text: If "universal health care" means everybody gets health care but not everybody gets absolutely everything possible, then America has that too, better than most places.
  
  If "universal health care" means everybody, rich or poor, gets the same health care, then Europe doesn't have that either. I know this because I work for a world-class medical research institute, and we get a continuous stream of wealthy Europeans who come buy health care options their own systems do not provide.
  
  If "universal health care" is a euphemism for the government decides who can have what within the national borders, well, good, we don't have that and we don't want it.
  
  If "universal health care" means "How dare rich successful people have things I can't have! I drmand the government make them buy me all that stuff too or take away theirs!" then forget it. Won't happen. Never has, never will.
