Health care in America isn't broken. There's an insurance problem among other things that needs to be addressed. The government fix it? What a joke!!

We do NOT have the greatest healthcare system....not even close. We do have some of the best healthcare technology.
In the beginning we had non-profit hospitals and now we have for profit healthcare systems. That is part of the problem. Another part of the problem is the insurance companies which are again....for profit.
While I believe in capitalism it is NOT my God. The free market system does have its faults...as we all saw recently.
This system works best when things work for everyone...not just for business but for the workers also. The system is out of balance the stock market is going up and profits are up. The problem is people are still losing their jobs and wages are falling. That cannot be denied.
Many of the bankruptcies in the US are caused by lack of healthcare and the under insured. Something has to be done.
