Why The United States Needs Universal Health Catre

To paint an accurate piture on the state of the Union, contrary to what the media, the President, and Congress constantly try to project the United States is far from being fiscally, economically, and nationaly secure. To actually achieve economic stability, long term financial prosperity, and to ensure our national security it is imperitive that the United States pass and implement Universal Health Care for all it's citizens.
How this is accomplished is by no means an easy task. Our elected officials at every level of government must break away from the special interest groups, the lobbiests, the insurance industry, and their own self absortion by subcunning to the financial preasures for their elections and re-elections.
An educated, informed, and participating public is the only way for democracy to flurish. To rid ourselves of the quandry that our elected officials have been allowed to create the American citizen must take an active part by educating themselves on the long term consequences this country faces without Universal Health Care.
Projected by the year 2012 the number of Americans without health care will have increased from now 50 million to over 60 million adults. Our children, the future of this country, without adequete health care will also have increased by over 20% and growing every year. To continue as we are is catastrophic for the future of the United States.
Back in 1988 Senator Edward Kennedy introduced a Universal Health Care proposal based on the English and Canadian systems. A single payer plan similar yet different form the European plans. This plan was a serious step in trying to get every American Health Care coverage. No longer would the United States be held hostage by the buracratic way that Medicade and Medicare are not providing all that is needed to take care of all Americans. If this bill had passsed back then this country would not be in such economic peril.
Today, the best way to actually achieve prudent fiscal policies, lasting economic growth, ensuring our own national security, guarenteeing health care for all, restoring Social Security, and bring prosperity to all Americans is to adopt National Economic Reform of which Universal Health Care is a major component. National Economic Reform's eight articles with each one contigent on the others for their success is the direction this country needs to follow.
The magnitude and scope of National Economic Reform is the modern day version of the New Deal and the WPA of the 1930's. Universal Health Care of National Economic Reform will be the major reason the United States prospers for generations to come.
