That's just as true now as when I first said it.

Universal healthcare in America isn't going to "cut costs" as you claim, since Americans are extremely unlikely to accept the reduction in services that would be needed to achieve that. I still support universal healthcare despite this, but with cuts to other entitlements (Social Security being the obvious target) to keep entitlement spending from sucking up an unhealthy amount of U.S. GDP.
