Health Care Policy 2008

One of the most important issues facing our nation is the fact that the United States, alone out of major industrialized nations, is the only one that lacks some form of Universal Health Care. 

Rather, the Bush Administration has turned to so-called 'market-driven' policies that have created confusion, increased costs, and even more increased profits for elements of the private sector such as prescription drug manufacturers, insurance companies, plan administrators and others--all with not only no demonstrable improvement in health care, but actually a continued deterioration of the system.

 

Because of that, we are stepping up our coverage of policy issues as the nation enters into elections in 2006 and 2008.  It is imperative that the nation--especially our growing seniors' population--is equipped with facts that will enable them to determine what is needed to fix the country's ineffective, highly costly health care system.
