If so, then I would vote 'no'. I'm not in favor of paying for anyone else's health care. And, I'm not in favor of there being a single source for my health care. However, I would vote 'yes' in a referendum that would create good paying jobs so that everyone could pay for, and choose their own health care provider. I don't think it's a good idea to have the federal government as the single source of health care, paid for by a mandated withholding of personal income. That doesn't sound very fair or very wise.
