Universal health insurance

Chris Farrell Oct 13, 2008

One common criticism of universal health insurance is that we can’t afford it. That argument no longer holds after the trillions spent on the banking bailout, including taking over of from Freddie and Fannie, as well as the coming partial nationalization of the banking system.

We can afford universal health coverage.
