People should be more responsible and pay for their own stuff. If buying health insurance requires you to give up non-necessities like TV, newer cars, cell phones, dinner at restaurants etc... then so be it.
In addition to that we will now have to wait in longer lines since there are more people that need care and the same amount of caregivers. Also we will likely not get the same standard of care due to more people being given healthcare and being rushed through the system.
The ONLY people who want universal healthcare are people who either dont want to or cant pay for their own insurance. The rest of us who already pay for our healthcare are happy with it the way it is.
