9. ANY health care program will be a tough sell in Congress |

But we have to do it anyway. Yes, mandates will be a tough sell to the public, and the implementation will need to be well thought out. But without mandates, you don't have universal health care, and the system collapses into what we have right now because of costs (and yes, insurer's greed).
I'd love a single payer system, but that WON'T pass Congress. We need to move toward it though, and universal health care (or insurance, as some prefer to call it) is a step in the right direction.
