Today's Phrase: Universal Health Care!

Of course everyone wants health care for all. I do.

So, what does a politician mean when they are saying they are for Universal Health Care? The answer is not much.

Universal Health Care, ~10 years ago, primarily meant a single payer system (the government funds all). However, in modern symantics it means- Single payer, third party payer (insurance companies), Consumer driven health care (the actual patient), and any other health care ideas that are worth a sniff.

What type works. Consumer driven. However, don't tell anyone else this......it will cause a riot.

Of course that is my personal thought on the matter, but those of you who are interested you should check out http://www.NCPA.org. They have tons of information on it.
