I'll call this: "The Universal Healthcare Thread."

I couldn't come up with anything better than that really. >:p

As a former lib, this is probably the one issue I'm still on the fence about. 

I'm completely uninformed about the money-end of the topic in any detail whatsoever, other than the fact that I heard the healthcare system is "broken" somewhere, and I agree, only I can't narrow it down any better than that.

So for me at least, this is not a debate thread. 

EDIT:  Some may have misunderstood this ^^^ to mean that I'm not allowing debate.  As always, I cannot tell you what to post; only the fact that I am coming here as a learner first and foremost.  If you do have something to debate, I'd love to see it hashed out myself.

I'm pretty much willing to hear everyone out on this. . .with a clean mental slate.  Comprehensive lists are more than welcome!  I know what Obama has promised if he becomes president (the big heathcare round-table on C-span and all) and it sounds really-really neato. . .but I have my nagging suspicions.  

Not that I'm a one-issue voter by a longshot, but this is the one issue I think it's time to put on the table before the elections so we know what we want going into the polls.

So, who wants to start?
