-People- like universal health care. But not republicans - until they get it.

Look around the world. There’s no place—not Canada, not England, not France, not Massachusetts, not Taiwan, not anywhere—where the implementation of a universal health care system leads to backlash and repeal. Instead it leads to the local conservative political party becoming a fan of universal health care. (talking about Scott Brown)
