WILL NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE KILL CONSERVATISM?
It will neuter conservatives. That's the implied goal of the reform. The conservatives in Europe are rather more housebroken and less inclined to follow the dogmatic domestic and foreign policy excesses of someone like George W. Bush. That the GOP could have been gifted 12 years of control in the congress and 8 years of the executive yet still leave the nation in ruins should be a demonstrable proof of the failure of conservative policy. That he could have free reign to reform after 9/11 and still ultimately fail suggests the ideas he was obsessed by were wrong. Bush didn't fail conservatism conservatism failed all by itself.
You are quite wrong about the fleeing elsewhere point MarkJ. Ireland has a National Health Service (since the 60s) and they actually started increasing population for the first time since records began. And they have gone on to be a wealthy nation that still maintains a very low tax base.
