One final thought.

There has not been an American president to date with the balls to implement any kind of Universal Health Care plan for its citizens.

Clinton made some weak noise about it for about a day or two and never really saw it through (other than putting Hillary in charge).

Change takes courage, and Americans and American politicians seem to abhor change.

When I see this kind of behavior, I can't help but marvel at what kind of courage Tommy Douglas (Keifer Sutherland's Grandfather by the way) had way back when.
