Tjere are some very large downsides to national healthcare. I expect this to be VERY VERY expensive on a scale that dwarfs what we have today. Remember I said because its coming. Worse.. going in, I expect I will be paying for my own insurance and then paying taxes on the employers share which is not a small amount. So I expect to have to pay more. So again tell me how this is going to benefit everyone? How is it reining in costs if its costing more?

There will be significant tax increases coming to pay for this as well and expect the middle class to be hit and hit hard.
