NPR had a really good segment of This American Life that discussed how we ended up with an employer based health care system. This was our starting point, whereas I think in other countries (I at least know this is true of Australia), they more or less started from nothing with their health care system. So of course it is harder to change something where so many corporations have a vested interest in it staying the same (and there are lots of people who fear change). I think this bill is a good first step, and I personally hope eventually we will see a single player system.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05200952523325532145noreply@blogger.com
