Yep. Saw that the other day. It isn't really surprising because the only way to fund a national healthcare plan is through higher taxes. There is NO such thing as "free healthcare"; you either pay for your own insurance and healthcare or you pay taxes to the government for their healthcare and/or insurance.

Of course, this will present a quandry for those 40 million who cannot afford insurance of their own, since they still won't be able to afford insurance when the national plan is in place, so now instead of just being too poor to buy healthcare, they will be charged a fine for being too poor to buy healthcare.
