Democrats are typically somewhat closer, but still not great, although currently there is a strong belief in doing what Obama wants, but Obama doesn't push a particular bill.
I think the fed is too large a venue for health care reform. I think you could have universal health care more effectively in your own city, county, other division (such as diocese), or state, or possibly region, than at the federal level. I've said so for a long time, but the states whine about doing something so big themselves, and I doubt a mayor would have sufficient authority. Obviously I don't believe in autocracy that much, even if I have community tendencies.
I actually think a constitutional right to health care might work. Of course, you'd think the right to one's own life would work too... Unfortunately people, especially in groups rarely like to cede power in a constructive way. Similarly people resist ceding their power up the chain to have it reach an adequate level to be effective... Otherwise communities that are most worried would already have a universal health care system (as in hospitals that are compensated for work done and people told they really have the responsibility to go to the doctor regularly) through contracts.
Wrap your mind around that.

Of course he does.
Who's the Nazi?
These are the Nazi's. Nazi Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anybody who calls anybody a nazi can be safely ignored because they lack the intellect to come up with a coherent argument.
