In other words 40+ million of lazy people, who probably don't deserve it anyway, right? You know how many people are uninsured in Australia? (Take a guess)
I found this chart that I thought was interesting, it shows the spending by country on healthcare as a % of GDP. It's interesting that the country which insures the least amount of people also pays the most.

Yeh, all those European countries must have gotten it wrong. Our system is always going to have more uninsured than others, but I personally like the system and feel that it works most of the time. There is basically two sides here... insure everyone, even people that potentially don't deserve it... or insure many, and realize that a few people that should have it slip through the cracks.
The US system isn't designed to insure everyone. Many middle class wouldn't be able to maintain their lifestyle with the HUGE increase in taxes that would be inevitable. There would be home foreclosures, and car repossession.
I think before anything permanent is put into place we need to have the economy recover more, so we can tell how bad the problem really is.
