This is one of the relatively few areas that I might be considered a bit
to the left in my POV. Quality health care in the US should be available
and affordable to everyone. We apparently have made strides to make it
equally available http://tinyurl.com/prk4c but it's still substandard
and too expensive for individuals and corporate providers.

The answer lies in routing out the corruption in the drug industry and the
political porksters that are manipulating it.

I don't know the answer, but something is surely wrong. Our health care
costs are already over 15% GDP and are expected to be over 20% GDP by
2015. That puts us at a considerable economic disadvantage when competing
with other industrial nations whose costs are generally under 10%. With
universal coverage, I might add.
