Health Insurance Blog | Please Comment On Health Insurance Issues

Obama has made a number of promises both during and after his quest for the presidency, and now that he is in charge, Americans are waiting anxiously to see which promises he will be able to deliver on. One of the most pressing issues is that of health insurance. Especially given the current economic situation where a frightening number of Americans are losing their jobs, and as a result, their health insurance. While the idea of “universal healthcare” has been an object of much debate for many years, Americans are the only industrialized society in which health insurance is linked to a job. Lose your job, lose your income, lose your health insurance. No where else in the civilized world does this triple threat occur. If Americans could have a Medicare type health insurance available for everyone, regardless of age, income, employment status, etc, wouldn’t we want that?
