I think I'd take a uniform national health service in exchange for my free choice of a cell phone. In fact, much as I absolutely love my I330 (one vote for Palm!) I'd give up all cell phone service for a national health plan. And that's only one of many things I'd give it up for (try good public schools, right to adequate nutrition, right to employment, truly progressive taxation for a few others--and I'm in the upper 1% income-wise). If "free" choice of cell phones is really "what is great about america", then we have fallen further than I had feared. Sorry, but I didn't bring this up!
