The Health Care Debate

Of all the issues that I have heard regarding health care in the United States. None seems to be more pressing than the statistic that 50% of bankruptcies in the U.S. are caused by health care costs. Addressing this one issue is a humane and real one. If ambulances can pick up someone from literally anywhere in the United States and take them to a hospital, what good does that do if the people then go bankrupt and lose everything because their insurance company drops them or they have no insurance to begin with because they can't afford it?

This one issue is why this nation is failing. If we cannot solve this one issue for our citizens then we can only be the laughing stock of the civilized world.
