The necessary transition has come, is on its way toward disappearing, and Hillary will work to usher in universal government healthcare.

I am OK with health coverage for all citizens (Citizens Only!!!) and even single payer, provided:

Fix the budget deficit first
Plan reduction to national debt (how?)
Fix SS

If Government shows it can be responsible and do all that without cutting/gutting defense, I would even pay a little extra in taxes.

Currently, our elected Government has not shown well enough if it can manage its current responsibilities let alone manage new ones.
