No, there is not much support for free health care in the US. It will never be implemented. I do think though that a lot of people want to make it more affordable, because as you know, it is getting out of hand.
I used to believe in free health care but I'm not sure if I do anymore. I don't know much about UK but I know that in Sweden and France they now have to start charging higher fees for medical care. Those two countries were earlier known to have the best health care in the world. No system is perfect.
An interesting point is though that life expectancy is pretty much the same all over Europe and the US so free health care or not doesn't seem to be a contributing factor.....I might be wrong....it's just my fast assumption.
Addition: Bush is working on a medicare reform...that is, providing better care for elders. We'll see how it works out. Clinton tried implementing universal health care and it was not popular, one of Kerry's election points was free health care and we know now what happened to that.

As a taste of what is to come during a second Bush term, an advisor to President Bush on climate issues came out today claiming global warming is a myth designed to 'hamper American competitiveness.' Myron Ebell, a director at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told Radio 4 that claims the climate is threatened are "ridiculous, unrealistic and alarmist."
"The whole tissue of argument that makes climate change into the greatest problem facing humanity is based on a long series of improbabilities," he said.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute has received $1.5m from Esso since 1998. Esso is the world's biggest oil company and funds a series of front groups that spread doubt about climate science and advise Republican politicians on global warming. The CEI is one of the biggest of these groups.

That is right kim. The ordinary Americans are paying the price and the black man, the white man, the yellow man and the red man are paying with their lives, while Bush and his buddies (Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, the oil industry, weapon executives and others are getting rich)

Isn't that a somewhat similar situation to Vietnam?
