hmm, what about infant mortality? not too pretty a stat.

the issue is both allocation of costs (which are going thru the roof), access to care by the uninsured, and people with pre-existing maladies that for the most part bankrupt the patient with their inability to get coverage.

a simple question the opponents fail to address: do you believe that our system is adequate/equitable to all, and is it correctly structered for the next century?

healthcare has changed tremendously over the last couple of decades,and will continue to change in the near future. our delivery system should change to meet these new realities.
