Medicare for all would be a start, but that program is also flawed. They need to clean up the paperwork mess, streamline a little... I saw some messed up red tape watching my father run a practice in the States. But it would be a start. I have some doubts about America being able to function a single-payer system though, a lot of people would find that idea repugnant. In some peoples opinions they have no obligation to ensure anyone's health but their own...
I worry if ObamaCare is the change we need, or a change for the worse. I admit to being a little behind on this issue, but last I heard the plan was supposed to cost less (or "save money") AND help the about 50 million w/o insurance. The only idea I have heard about achieving that was a criminal penalty for refusing to purchase the state approved (but still wholly private) policy. So people who right now cannot afford health care coverage will be fined? That will solve the problem?
I don't really go in for that Republican, Democrat thing... It's make believe, like wrasslin'. Isn't that getting more and more obvious? Republican Bush, war in Iraq. Democrat Clinton, still war in Iraq (unofficial). Republican Bush again, still more war in Iraq. Obama the Christ-child of the democratic left, and still the same tired war (or wars)... There are obvious policy decisions that are longer term, and over the heads of the acting president...
I don't mean to split off, but there are obvious policy decisions about health care too. About profiteering in the absolute worst way. Lets hope America has the gumption to fix all that ails her, not just proper health care reform, but all the thousand other messes she's in.
Still an American, if only in the responsibilities I have been asked, and the rights given along with them,
A true 3 percenter patriot!
