Thoughts on Words in Obamacare Debate

Universal Healthcare. What does it mean to you?

1. Geographic Availability. Healthcare available everywhere on US soil?
2. Gratuitous. Healthcare is free for every patient?
3. Condition. Only the middle-aged get care because the young rarely need it and the elderly are too expensive?
4. Management. The universe -- I mean, the government -- controls who get care, how they get care, when they get care, from whom they get care, why they get care?
5. Quality. All get first class care.
6. Timeliness of Care. Care is available immediately on demand?
7. Assistance in Obtaining Care. Assistance on entering The System is available to all at no cost?
8. Pricing. Healthcare prices are set so that no one cannot pay?
9. Qualitative Availability. Healthcare is available to all of equal quality?

Do you think that I have same answers to the questions above that you do? Simply put, Universal Healthcare is phrase that sounds wonderful to all but has utterly no meaning. No one will object to it in polls, so the Democrats can push whatever they want on the American public and claim that the vast majority want it.
