Univeral HealthCARE in the US?

Question

When there are Millions of Americans coexisting in the US with out the benefits of Healthcare do you forsee the US government and congress ever opening their blind eyes to the fact that AMERICA needs an over haul where HEALTH benefits are concerned.  The US is the only country that doesn't have Social Medicine.  

It would take away the need for Medicaid and State relief.  Everyone would be taxed according to how many people reside in the household.  When I lived in Australia I paid approximately $10 a month for social medicine benefits (that was in 1980)  I'm sure there have been increases but AMERICA and it's UNinsured need to do something.

I'm one of those millions in the US with no medical insurance.  Employers these days are not providing this as a benefit anymore and leave the employee to their own devices.  Insurance for health in the US is outrageous and basically not affordable to those who need it!! 

Do you forsee this every changing?

No, it won't change. And I don't believe universal health care is necessarily good. The good doctors go into private practice where there's more money, and then you end up with the same thing as we've got in the States. After people are allowed to set up private practices at all, universal health care them becomes a scam. You might as well be honest about it like in America.

technology has driven healthcare costs up. if you want good healthcare you have to pay for it, research and development plus labor costs for highly educated people isnt cheap, americans spend i think  something like $5-10,000 a year on healthcare. thats a lot of tax money...
