We have said before that we don't think universal health care is a likely outcome for our country anytime soon. Reason being, in a single payer situation, our health system is so massive and intricate that is seems too difficult to change to a single payer.
Although, this is not the same as saying that making all of our citizens get health insurance is out of the question. It is quite the topic of conversation as to the future of our health system. Most can agree that reform is in order in regards to how health care is delivered and possible a look at universal coverage.
In essence, the idea is universal health insurance, instead of universal health care. It seems that this is quite possible in our future. The Democrats are now in control in the White House and Congress. Add the support of the health insurance industry, itself and that makes the pot thicker.
There will still be plenty of debates on the specifics of a universal health insurance law, noted a very informative Los Angeles Times article, but the times are right for requiring coverage.
