My own personal opinion is that we can’t get universal health care soon enough. Truman did his best sixty years ago to pass it, but the country wasn’t ready yet. I don’t know that it’s ready now, either.
But I think enough people are worried enough about it to get it passed because politicians are worried about what will happen to them if they don’t pass it.
The Bush veto of the SCHIP bill may turn out to be the best thing he has done. It may stir up people enough to get health care for everyone in the United States.
Employers have begun to support national health insurance. They no longer are supporting endless subsidies for insurance companies and the drug manufacturers.
The real question is, Why did it take them so long to reach the obvious answer. This country is the last industrialized country is the world not to have universal health care.
How far behind the times can you get?
