Health Insurance For Everyone

Obviously the cost of health insurance is making it cost prohibitive for many people do have coverage. The debate about how to solve the issue rages on. The current administration claims to want a program in place that is bipartisan. Opponents agree a plan is needed. However, bipartisan participation in any healthcare reform requires each side to get into the other to some measure. That's why we still have a problem. It is that way in every major issue that evolves in this country. Apparently, it will always be that way.

No one on either side seems to have their priorities in line. The truth is it is not about affordable health insurance coverage, it is about power, political power, and political authority. If it were anything else they reform package would be in place and if 50 million people without health coverage would have it. Why does the reform package have to be thousands of pages long? That's because there are so many attachments in special agendas from different interest groups that the purpose of the plan gets lost in the shuffle.

There is much debate on how to fund and pay for a plan or reform. One side wants to tax the wealthy. The other doesn't. My idea is to have everyone pay for healthcare insurance. We all agree that we need to have something done. Why does one people group, the wealthy, have to foot the bill for the rest of the populace? That does not make sense.
