Health Care: Obama Shoots for the Moon

A majority of clear headed, non-ideological Americans would agree that the health care system in this country is broken.

Universal health care already exists: no one gets turned down when they show up at the emergency room: illegal immigrants, the wealthy, the poor....

The problem is, the costs keep skyrocketing and are unsustainable: doctors are rewarded for prescribing more drugs, the pill companies spend billions on advertising to pimp their drugs, there is no incentive for efficiency.  

The system is rotten and needs to be flushed.

Universal, nationalized health care in America has been up until now a political graveyard for presidents.

Will it be different for Obama?
