How much are you willing to pay for your health insurance?
How much are you willing to pay for a doctors visit?
How much are you willing to pay for a hospital stay?
The Canadian single payer plan produces better results for less money. Let's just adopt a system we know works. They spend about five thousand a year in total. The us spends about 30% more.
Finally...the 47 million figure includes roughly 10 million 'non-Americans'...lets exclude them from getting free healthcare.
It then includes over 16 million who earn $50,000 or more....not sure about you but they should be able to pay for their own insurance...
So that leaves 21 million uninsured,of that several million have gov. healthcare available to them but have not signed up....
I am sorry it seems there just isn't enough uninsured Americans to want to do this...unless this isn't about the uninsured people but about those who HAVE insurance and want others to pay for it???

A lot mentioned about the people who make > $50,000/year without health insurance. I would be interested in knowing how many of those had a private plan which cancelled them when they became ill. They then were "branded" with a "preexisting condition" making it impossible to get a policy with another company.

That didn't answer the question in the quote.
How about answering that or mine. How much do you think YOU are going to be paying per year on the proposed "Obama" plan ?
How much coverage do you think you will get for it

This did not answer the OP question.
Also, we are not, at this time, considering a single payer system
Exactly why we need nationalize health care. You've made my point for me.
None of the legislation in the Congress does as you desire.
Therefore, we are talking about reality - what is happening today - not your future fantasies
