In what way does everyone getting this type of healthcare make things cheaper for anybody? These are mostly wealthy people that can and do go wherever they want for healthcare and they can pretty much pay for the care they get. They pay a lot into this "free" healthcare unlike a lot of people would if it applied to everyone. Guess who gets to pay for the rest of America that contributes nothing to the system under national healthcare? That would be you and me.
