97. Bull, again.
"And Switzerland has universal health CARE. Walk into a hospital and you will recieve health CARE."

Walk into a hospital in the US of A, and you will receive health care, too. The law will not allow an emergency room to turn anyone away. So, I guess we already have "universal care" according to the way you want to define it.

Again, universal insurance does not equal universal care. I said it in the OP, contrasting the two words. I cannot help it if you have problems with comprehension with sentences that are clearly written.

Unless a person has insurance that will pay for all necessary treatments, that person does not have universal health care. I have health insurance. I DON'T have health CARE for every needed medical procedure. Therefore, while I have a plan that would fall under a "universal health insurance" plan...I still do not have "universal care."
