Despite the health care reform bill that President Obama signed in 2010, millions of Americans will remain without health care, and the cost of care will continue to grow at alarming and unsustainable rates.
Health care in America is in a state of crisis.
Reform is a complicated, massive undertaking, and many Americans vehemently and fundamentally disagree on this vision and its approach: many Americans finally want universal, single-payer health care. They want the US Government to guarantee our care, just like it’s done in Canada and much of Europe. Other Americans distrust the government’s ability to provide quality care, and place their confidence and trust in the free market to get the job done. |
