Universal health care doesn't require government coercion. Many more people in the US would have access to health care, including insurance for catastrophic events, if the state and federal governments stopped interfering in the supply side. The same groups that use force to prevent new hospitals being built, restrict the number of doctors, prevent nurses and nurse practitioners from treating many problems they're more than qualified to address, and disallow insurance being sold across state lines say that the solution to the problems they created is more government. It's almost like they have an ulterior motive.

Big government programs raise taxes and decrease liberty. To quote Penn Jillette, "Why not err on the side of a little more freedom?"
