> If there's enough money to cover all American's healthcare needs it is pure political gold to do so and no need for debate. I think you are completely missing the debate. The arguments against universal healthcare are 1) If I am healthy, why should I be paying (through taxes) for sick people to go to the hospital, 2) standard of care would become worse if it were government run (wait hours to see a doctor that you can't pick), and 3) less innovation would occur due to lower profits being seen by drug companies, hospitals, etc. I disagree with nearly all these points, but those are the arguments, not "we don't have the money".
