It does not work, people die because they have no money left for treatments, and go bankrupt trying to get the treatment they need.
For profit health care is never a good system, as it leaves too many people unable to afford it, and the HMOs and Pharmaceutical companies make treatments, and the drugs necessary to treat critical illness unaffordable.
In a Nation such as the U.S where billions of dollars can be thrown away on wars, the health care system is scandalous, and drastically needs to be overhauled from the bottom to the top.

I agree something needs to be done with our health care system. I just don't think the Government is the one to be in charge of it.
Look what they have done to Medicare and Medicade. Do you really think they will do any better with being in charge of all of it?
Obama will have so many people to oversee it and none will do their job. If things go wrong, the more people to share the blame with the better as far as they are concerned.
