Universal Health Care = Freedom

One argument no one seems to be making is how universal healthcare will unlock tremendous potential in thinkers and entrepreneurs. So many brilliant people are locked into boring, unfulfilling jobs simply because they are terrified to be without health care. How many Bill Gates-es are sitting around in offices unable to pursue their dreams because if they quit and decided to bartend instead, or live on savings or squat in their parents' garage, while they put their inventions and ideas together, they would be utterly exposed either to the predatory pricing of insurance companies or the possibility that one misstep, one mutated cell, could put them in debt for life?

Universal health care = freedom. Isn't that what America is supposed to be all about?
