Well, we'll have to agree to disagree regarding Obama's plan. :)
Though I think it's important to differentiate socialized healthcare, such as Iceland or Canada have, with what Obama is suggesting. As far as I understand, Obama's not suggesting state-sponsored health care with waiting lists and all that, just universal healthcare for all Americans, which would otherwise make use of the existing structure. For you and I, who no doubt have health care through our respective companies, nothing would supposedly change (except, as you no doubt will say, the amount we might pay in taxes.)
