Dunno. That's not a system that I think works in this country. Everyone has insurance will be a system that works, but some sort of NHS / Canadian system, as I've said over and over and over again, isn't going to happen.
Supposing that Michigan were to adopt a system like Massachusetts and California have recently announced, the health care that you've been so jealously guarding over this entire debate is going to cost your employer more in premiums than the bottom of the barrel college type plan that covers just the basics a lot of the uninsured are going to get. There's going to be a descrepancy in the premiums because everyone is going to end up in a different risk pool or else the concept of insurance collapses alltogether.
