What's Happening with National Health in the U.S.?

It seems like the push for national health in this country is hitting a brick wall and I don't know if it's deliberate or not. The plan and beginning execution seemed to be going in the right direction, even though nay sayers keep condemning it. I think with the insurance companies behind the plan it will work better than expected. Why should the insurance companies get behind something that may eventually put them out of business? They should and it wont. Aligning with the government to nationalize the health care system will relieve the insurance carriers of high risk customers and bring lower risk customers to them that wish to have health care outside the box. You can get regular health insurance in Britain if you like, your not limited to the government program. Everybody pays for the system and when you get private insurance you pay some more for coverage that you may never use to its fullest, saving the insurance carriers like Prudential, Blue Cross, Blue Advantage in N.C., Harvard Vanguard in Mass., Kaiser Permanente, and many more companies allowing them to operate in the black and very streamlined in their operations. We need to see the disadvantages of other programs in places like Great Britain, Canada, and Australia/New Zealand and work through them so as to not repeat past mistakes. Good Health!
