> The argument that I pay for my healthcare in my taxes doesn't hold water either Indeed. Americans spend more per capita on healthcare than any country in the world, and needless to say, for all that spending we don't even cover everyone. To put it another way, we _already_ spend enough on healthcare to cover everyone. That we don't cover everyone is a political problem (allowing for the existence of a for profit system with no public alternative), not a spending problem.
