I did not have insurance while unemployed for 9 months. It was scary to think if either of the kids got really sick what that would have done to me.

In terms of universal health care, try before you buy. Go to canada, or ireland, and try and get decent care. I have a brother-in-law in ireland that had to sell his cows when he hurt his back and could not get care for 6 months. He ended up flying over here to get treatment. Luckly my other sis works on mri's, she took the pics and asked a doc to look at them. He ended up getting a couple cortizone shots and was back in business in a month or so. All that and his wife (my big sis) is a nurse in the county hospital over there.

I hope we continue to push the need for health insurance but stay away from universal health. It does not work as a viable health care system.
