We're the only western country that doesn't have a national health care ID.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
America doesn't have health insurance.
This idea of universal access to basic healthcare has to be figured out as a world. No country has figured it out in part because it is driven by ideology.
There is just no reason why the richest nation in the world can't provide health care to all its people.
We have one of the few societies, the only one I can think of right offhand, where your health care is so tied to your job, so that when an American company has to hire, they have to think about health care.
Today right here in America we have 50 million people without health insurance.
I call this 'boss Obamacare.' The only health care that citizens of this country can access are those approved by the boss.
We don't need a nation that has national identity cards.
I have argued for years that we do not have a health care system in America. We have a disease-management system - one that depends on ruinously expensive drugs and surgeries that treat health conditions after they manifest rather than giving our citizens simple diet, lifestyle and therapeutic tools to keep them healthy.
Health care comprises nearly 20 percent of our national economy, but outdated bureaucracy and red tape have stifled competition and raised costs. As a result, today more than 45 million are without any health coverage.
I don't believe we have defined health care reform very well in this country.
