Universal healthcare is the only way out, but beware of the details. The devil is in the details. Watch for the work of lobbyists who manage to craft the laws that are to the advantage of the insurance and HMOs.

Hillary went through the healt care reform in the 1990's and learned a lot as it didnt go through.
Other presidential canadidates do not have a clue what they are talking about about the universal health care.

Universal health care is not the only way out, that's crazy, It does not work!!!! if we have that we will be in huge trouble, no one will get the care they need, long lines, shabby care, if your sick you will just get drug's, long long lines for surgery's etc., ask anyone from Canada how they like their health care?????? I did and its not pretty, besides what would happen to the huge insurance companies that rip us off, the ones that run our country now,??????? The insurance companies need to have affordable insurance, and the dam hospitals need to give us more that 90 days to pay off a big bill without interest, where I live you have 90 days, before you get put into a collection agency, where they charge you interest, that should be against the law, back in the day you made payments, til your bill was paid, no one charged interest, what the hell happened. all the hospitals turned socialist!!!!!! get what they can, no matter what, its un-American!!!!!

The tide has turned, and mostly for the worse. Hillary's universal health care will mean waiting for months and months to see a doctor, because doctors offices will be full of hypochondriacs. Hillary cant even run her own campain let alone our country's health care. It will turn it into the disaster that VA health care is now. Just ask a Veteran..I am one. Universal health care is a universal disaster.

Right, the only way out is to let the government, the same one that ****** up Katrina, two wars, the border, bankrupted Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and has us at a record deficit run the healthcare system. Brilliant, why didn't I think of that? I know, because it is the worst of all the options.

To answer your question;
Yes I believe it has, it still amazes me that the same people that state that our veterans are receiving substandard government run health care, are saying that America needs the same government to run the rest of our care.
Also they point to Canada as a model for America, yet now the facts of Canada's doctor shortages are coming out and that 4 million Canadians cannot see a doctor since their are no doctors in their area to be seen by. Socialized medical care is a failure, period end of story.

Universal health care will have to be regulated and there will have to be a lot of oversight done to keep it working as it should continually. I have even heard some Republicans saying that it may be the way to go now. It seems like it will be very complicated.

Yes, I would love health care to operate with the speed and efficiency of the DMV, airport security, and the United States Postal Service.

What... the other Democrats... no that's not shocking... it's to be expected.. I would find it hard to believe that any Republican Candidate would make such proposals.. it would be certain death in the primaries...
