Michael Cotton (edison) We have a health care problem

Healthcare is a major problem we face in America today.  The rising cost of medical care and health insurance is taking its toll on many Americans today.  The inability to pay for necessary medical care is no longer a problem affecting only the uninsured, but for those with health insurance as well.  Nearly 50 million American do not have health insurance, while another 25 million are underinsured.  The number of people who are underinsured has grown 60 percent over the past four years.  The United States is fast becoming one of the worst health care systems in the world even though they have one of the highest rates for health care expenditures.  They are also the only industrialized nation that does not provide some form of universal health care to it’s citizens.  The problems with health care are affecting many Americans, the uninsured and insured.  From lack of access to preventative care and the high cost of medical treatment, there are many health care problems facing Americans.  By sharing our experiences and problems in regards to health care issues, hopefully we can find a better solution for fixing our health care system.
