Whether or not it's as good as "rich" people would pay for, I do not know.
It's a matter of providing some health care for people where there is none now.
kerry's plan though he says his optional, is not really optional unless you feel like paying twice for health care. i believe something must be done for the poor who work and don't have healthcare, but a universal type program is not the way to go.
