Cool down, it'S in principle the same way in Europe, and I don't argue with it. Principle obligatory health insurances is one of the things I do not complain about. But since you Americans are new to implement it, you better take care you do not repeat the same mistakes we Europeans allowed to happen, namely to have lobbies distorting the health care service and drugs market - and ever increasing inssurance costs needing to compensate for the corruption in the system.
So if you go for that system, it is a big chance and a risk for you at the same time. Do it well, and your children will thank you, and your society will have gained a significant ammount of civilization. Follow our examples and let it slip into muddy realms and mutating bureaucracy, and you end up with a bureaucracy going amok and corruption and lobbies establishing price monopoles and never stop milking you more and more.
