1) Is there a problem, and if yes what is the problem? yes. like the OP stated, an overabundance of uninsured people. a good portion of them are eligable for free care status at hospitals which is why it costs so much to go to one these days,they pass the cost along to those that can pay.
2) Is it likely to work itself out? no. the numbers are becoming over-whelming and will eventually cripple healthcare.
3) What is the best way to fix it? i think one of the easiest and most far reaching ways is to lower the cost of presciption medications.
there are others, but it will only get me into rant mode.
4) Why (explain your answer)? people are on a ton of medications. you should see some of the lists. alot of these people cant afford all or most of them. they stop taking the meds, their condition worsens and they require often lenghty stays in hospitals and rehabs.
5) Who is in a position to enact this change? congress is probably the only one that can get that done.
6) What can I do to make this change? since congress is useless about the only thing the average person can do is insist on generics and no first generation meds.
