We may be looking at a future round of health care legislation that could lead to some form of Universal Health Care.
Bottom line: A big part of the problem with the debt and deficit is the continued spiraling cost of health care.
The discussions going forward could lead to real health care reform (a transition plan to some form of Universal Health Care).
The same old problems will come up... business special interests will try to jockey for position (read their gain).
The issue that has always been so peculiar (to me) is that we (in the US) spend much more than anyone else and have poor health statistics. We have to be overpaying! Something does not seem right!
IMO - they have the momentum to make that sort of change in the coming debt talks. But the problem is that there are many who simply benefit from the current dysfunctional system. They will fight to keep it as is.
