Universal healthcare - an idea whose time has come?
In the US of A that is.
The 2008 presidential season is already in full swing & the big names are looking for their USP, especially since most of the prospective Democratic challengers are on the same side of the Iraq debate. Obama got there a few days ago, Bush’s State of the Union gets a positive recommendation from the Economist (though it is a case of too little, too late & under duress), Hillary still has the scars on her back from 1992 and John Edwards etc have more to say on the subject.
It is interesting watching this discussion from the other side of the pond & I regret that we are taking steps, small but true in the other direction.
Something for you to ponder while we wait. Also a comparison of various national EPR experiences.
