I am trying to understand this whole situation and I keep reading the threads, but most of them just talk about either
a) How much a certain poster hates michael moore. or b) How crappy the Health Care system is. I just want to know what the problem is and how to solve it. I know people are getting screwed by the system, but I want to know why and how to fix it. |

I'm not an american so excuse me if I'm wrong here but isn't poverty the real problem over there, not the actual health care system? Therefore you fix the problem by reducing poverty. Public health care just makes everyone poorer.

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act makes it a law that all people who report to an emergency room for treatment must be treated irregardless of their ability to pay. The government spends billions on Medicaid, it's a complete myth that people who can't afford health insurance go without health care in the United States. |

Someone asked a very similar question about what the problem is. As for doing what works, the best health care systems are the socialized systems in Western Europe where doctors are civil servants. But since that is too drastic, our best bet is something like Canada with a private system with a single payer.
