HEALTH CARE REFORM

As the US Congress works to push forward the health care reform legislation, there is much debate over this prominent political and social issue that the United States government must address through legislation as Medicare and similar government programs are going broke and the American health care system as we know it is found by consensus to be unsustainable. Key issues that make this topic of particular interest are the current economic situation of the US, the astounding national debt numbers, the millions of Americans not on any health care plan, the inability many of Americans to access quality health care from a cost standpoint, the financial trouble that the current government programs are in, the massive expansion of government, and the future of 1/6 of the US economy.
