Why is some young voter going to be against the idea of UHC when all he sees is less of his money going towards taking care of himself and more of his money going towards disposable spending, or so he thinks. |

For instance there are some drugs that they will not provide because most of the people with your particular problem do well with prescription B and C. We all know that some people respond differently to some medications than others. Now what if prescription A was the one that relieved your chronic pain or kept your blood sugar in balance the best. What if you couldn't get that prescription that seemed tailor made for you because it was more expensive and most did fine without it. This kind of thing is happening in countries with socialized medicine, do the research. |

Government = Failure!
