Health care reform doesn't sound so bad right about now, does it? We all pay for the uninsured anyway, so universal health care would just be a more honest way of doing it. If businesses could count on a certain level of income for all treatment and not have to rack up our fees to pay for the uninsured and deadbeats, the cost should go down for everyone. The problem is that the current system is broken. Free markets don't apply to our health industry now. It is so inneficient that we get the worst of both worlds - high prices and poor service. I can see that someday we will have to go to a single payer system of some kind just to remain competetive in the world economy.
