Jan 09, 2007 -- Schwarzenegger pushes new health plan
Californias governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has called for mandatory health insurance for all citizens of the state. Massachusetts passed a similar law last year and its moving forward. Both states are clearly trying to do something about the flawed health care system in this country. Were headed toward socialism in health care with so much government involvement. Plus, nearly 50 million Americans have no health coverage at all. Small business owners have the hardest time getting health coverage. Thats because our health insurance system has traditionally been tied up in large, faceless corporations, not the entrepreneur. In many states, insurance companies are legally allowed to collect premiums from people for years, only to turn around and drop those people when they get sick. Its a fact that more than half of all health care spending in the country comes from the government. Government should not run the health care system. We need a privately-run system in Clarks opinion, and we need to make sure everyone is covered. There is so much room for reform in medical care. Not to mention the fact that we need a better health care system, if we are going to remain competitive with other countries.
