It doesn't. People know that a benevolent government will take care of them so there is no incentive to live healthier. Good luck to you

Because the quality of care within the Universal system is so bad you certainly don't want to have to use it. Therefore you will live longer by taking better care of yourself.

It does not. Neither does private health care for that matter. So something else that will not change under a government system.

Ir doesn’t. It does just the opposite.

This health care bill contains 1.6 Billion per year in PORK.

Now wonder the Democrats are pushing to get this passed.

One: You have a false vision of Universal Health Care. But I'm not surprised that you prefer to make things up instead of looking at facts. Two: People who have regular access to doctors are healthier. Diseases are caught earlier, which allows for safer treatment, instead of crisis treatment.

They are not establishing universal health care. The mandate will fail miserably because some people still won't be able to afford insurance, even with subsidies, unless the government ends up finding a loop hole into offering insurance; if they do they might as well have just passed the public option.

You finally feel, if you are not one of the lucky insured people that you now have a fighting chance for a happy pain free life and health care without disrcrimination.

THAT IS HOW

It has inspired me!

Because they can go to the doctor for routine checkups instead of going to the emergency room with a 3 pound tumor.
