Time For A Debate In The USA On Health Care
Recent polls indicate that Americans are growing increasingly concerned about their health care system. One survey by The Commonwealth Fund, a non-partisan foundation that supports research into health and social issues, found that two of five adults polled reported having serious problems paying for health insurance or for their own or a family member's health care in the past two years. Two out of five also reported having serious problems getting appointments to see a doctor when they were ill without going to an emergency room.
The Lancet states: "Given such survey results, it is hard to believe that Congress can put off taking up serious health care reform much longer…There has not been a major debate over the US health care system since the early 1990s, when then President Bill Clinton's ambitious health reform effort collapsed. A new debate is long overdue. US voters are worried and they want a comprehensive solution, not tinkering. And they want a solution for all Americans, not just a few. They are looking for leadership."
