Universal Health Care? Something needs to be done! The politicians certainly will never solve the problem because they have the best medical coverage in the world. Idea's anyone?

So, the 40-50 million (about 1-5 Americans) that does not medical coverage, what about them, they do not have access to the best health care coverage in the world and they are U.S. Citezins?

organize health care like Canada. Free
If Canada can manage it, why can't the U.S.? You're supposed to be one of the richest countries in the world

Universal health care would be considered a monopoly in America, and that is against the law. It would be one health insurance and have no competition whatsoever. In addition, universal health care may sound like it would solve the problem, but, it would actually worsen it. With free insurance, taxes would go up for everyone since everyone would be paying for it out of their paychecks. In addition to that, healthier people would have to be paying for the consequences for those who smoke, are obese, etc. Universal health care will also eliminate private practices and with the wage drop with that, many people will turn away from practicing medicine.

I wouldn't.
Universal healthcare is a bad idea.
Just because other countries have it - doesn't make it good.
The medical industry in America is amongst the best in the world - if we offer universal health care - we would no longer have that.
