A lot of people have been discussing Michael Moore recently. I actually support universal healthcare. I have too many friends without any kind of health insurance. People in entry level jobs (especially retail) don't get any health insurance. Even without Michael Moore, no one is debating that we do need to be able to see a doctor when we fall sick. I've had friends who clearly need medical attention, but just can't afford it. And even if they know what medicine they need, they cannot get it because it requires a prescription. Even third world countries have free clinics... we don't. All you can really do is wait until the condition becomes life-threatening and end up in the emergency room.
