-Health Care is a big issue. But to answer your questions above, I beleive that every American citizen should be able to get good health care services in this age. I believe that the main thing that must be done is insurance reform.
-Insurance companies should be able to make a reasonalbe profit, and this profit should be determined by the market. The government's role is to make sure the playing field is even, legally and criminally, after that, stand aside and let market competitiveness do the job.
-In addition to making a profit the insurance companies must provide a good product. To me the product should include transference from job to job, no dropping in the middle of an illness, etc. Our present hodgepoge of medical services takes care of teh rich (they can pay for whatever they need), the poor (Medicaid pays for what they need) , the elderly (Medicare pays for what they need), the young (SCHIP pays for what they need), etc. The people who get screwed under the present system are the middle class people who get seriously ill; their insurance companies drop them or don't pay, then these people have to go bankrupt to qualiy for assistance.
-I believe somewhere in this country we could get a group of reasonable, impartial minds (leaves out politicians) to streamline this system without handing over more power to a government that has proven several times over that it can't fiscally manage anything.
