It is very dismal. Many, many people do not have health care. Although some states have been attempting to institute universal health care, that would cover all state citizens, there have been not significant adoption of the idea, because for a single state to introduce such a plan would require that they also make a huge shift in the way in which they define being a state resident. The state would suffer a large migration of people moving to acquire health care.
On the national level while health care is always a hot topic, many people would not support universal health care because it would involve (most likely) raising taxes. Unfortunately most of the voters in the country are the people who have health care already and thus would not see the need for it.

Very sad but there are solutions but no politicians want to do it. The best solution is use robots and computers as first line doctors to diagnose illnesses. This will save a lot of money. Use nurse practitioners to be the first line of healthcare. Design a low cost blood test center or design blood test machines cheap and portable.
It could be done. Use more generics to fight illnesses. Once you have competition, you drive down costs.
The main thing needed are blood test centers with cheap tests. That is the key to everything. One do not even need a doctor anymore if the computer can replace the doctor. Star Trek ring a bell?

Very poor! The United States has the highest infant mortality rate in the world of progressive nations and if you consider health care, educational opportunities, and adjusted real income, this country has fallen from 10th in the world to 12th behind such nations as Norway, Iceland and Australia, to name the 3 top nations in those areas.

Healthcares gone to ****. It is difficult to find a decent job with decent health benefits. After you have a company...then finding a practice that will take it is another pain. If you have no insurance you'll basically die from debt before your ailment. Move to a country with national healthcare.

Not too good. Heard what happened at Clinton's campaign office in Rochester, NH last Friday?
The "bomber" did it becuase he could not get government healthcare.
