This site attempts to fairly present arguments for and against a universal health care plan.
I have no reason that the author isn't sincere in his desire to be even-handed, but it's fairly clear which side he's on. It might be that a truly even-handed summary on an issue as contentious as this one is an impossible job for one person. Perhaps a "point-counterpoint" format would've worked better, with articulate proponents of either side of the issue invited to debate it.
But anyway, my responses to his points in the "yes" section are below the fold, with the "no" to appear in a subsequent post. Bear in mind that I make no claim at being balanced, and am firmly in the "pro" camp on this issue.
