In a previous post, we said that universal health care would likely never be possible in the U.S. any time soon - in the single-payer model. The U.S. health system is too big, too complicated, and too diverse to ever be able to switch to single-payer.
This doesn't mean that mandating that all Americans have medical coverage is not the goal, still. Everyone is concerned about the future of our health system. A lot agree that our system needs to be reformed on how health care is administered as well as possibly thinking of universal coverage.
Essentially, we are thinking, not universal health care, but universal health insurance. It seems that the future is looking good on this option. The Democrats now have the majority in the White House and Congress, plus the insurance industry is in favor.
There will still be plenty of debates on the specifics of a universal health insurance law, noted a very informative Los Angeles Times article, but the times are right for requiring coverage.
"Possibly more important than policy agreements is the fact that the political forces now are in alignment," said UC Berkeley political scientist Jacob Hacker. - 15485
