Universal health care

[nlm]

I think it's worth looking at in an honest fashion given the health care issues facing this nation. I'd like to see the various mechanics behind such a system and what different options existed in the construction of such a system. I'd also like to see a number of cost and savings impact estimates for the federal and state governments, for the national economy, and for the individuals at differing income level, and how they change as the mechanics behind the system shift. If this is something that ultimately put more money in people’s and businesses pockets after the taxes have been paid for it, it's worth thinking about. I'm not saying that it would, but this is something that could benefit corporate America, small business American and the average American by reducing the payout in health care. It's also one of only a few things I can think of that would likely help with the real wage numbers that are doing so poorly right now and it would almost surely create a major stimulus for the economy as a whole. Something needs to be done about health care costs and the impact they are having on the individuals and businesses that comprise this nation. Is this it? I'm not sure, but I'd sure like to see the government seriously exploring it.
