Sure, it sounds great. If I have to go to the doctor, the "government" (whoever that is) pays for me. We look longingly at Canada and mutter "I wish I didn't have to pay so much for my . . . back surgery, knee replacement or cancer treatment......"
Bertrand Russell said "The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. " - Bertrand Russell British author, mathematician, & philosopher (1872 - 1970) - I think that often we argue fiercely over matters we do not fully understand. I know I'm at fault here as well, and as far as Universal Health Care goes, I admit I do not know nearly enough to be considered savvy in the matter, however, I'd imagine I have read more on the subject than most.
Now here's the catch: It takes MONTHS if not YEARS for you to receive treatment for what ails you.

Health Care America lauds film, critiques proposalPosted on: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 9:15 AM EDT
Health Care America, a non- partisan, non-profit health care advocacy organization, released the following statement in response to filmmaker Michael Moore's three-part proposal for health reform."We give Michael Moore credit for being honest about his true goal: a total government takeover of health care. While we welcome any serious discussion generated by his new movie, SiCKO, and believe that every American deserves access to affordable, quality care, Moore's "proposal," which includes abolishing private health coverage and treating drug manufacturers like a "public utility," is not a serious solution."Government-run health care seems like a simple answer to fix the challenges facing our health care system, but in reality, government-run health care systems around the world force patients onto long waiting lists, ration care, limit access to lifesaving medicines and often deny urgent treatments. A recent survey has shown that ninety-four percent (94%) of Americans say they don't want to scrap our current system for this kind of government-controlled model," said Sarah Berk, executive director of Health Care America.Patients in Canada's government-run system currently wait over 17 weeks between the time they are seen by a general practitioner and a specialist; in fact, wait times in Canada are at an all-time high despite increased spending. Many Canadian patients are forced to come to the US each year for procedures - - many of them lifesaving -- they can't obtain in their own country.
Sorry Hillary...........
