Most Americans oppose health law but like provisions

[TBF]

57. We've got two issues going -

1. do we need single payer?
2. how do we pay for it?

My answers would be:
1. yes
2. taxes & payroll deduct (which I would make sliding scale based on income - but I'm a dreamer)

And yes I think it should be something everyone pays - like car insurance. You need a big pool to spread the risk. Maybe you feel like you are young & healthy now and don't necessarily need it - but what if you suddenly got Leukemia and someone needs to pay for that treatment?

The other thing to think about - and it's not my preference but something I would consider - is a 2-tiered system in which there is a basic level of care for everyone and then a for-pay side. That may be an option that would be easier to sell/legislate in this country. Right now it is a mess with folks not going to the doctor and emergency rooms being filled with non-emergency cases. I'd get those folks into preventative care during normal hours and that sort of thing. Maybe that is a compromise that people would go for?
