Regardless of which way the high court tilts on the constitutionality of Obamacare - our nation is headed for a health care crisis. In fact - with more than 50 million Americans uninsured - it's already in a crisis. First it was Vermont – now it’s Montana...Single Payer Healthcare - Will Single Payer eventually end up in all of America?

3. If you are a young adult in this country

college graduate or not - if you are lucky enough to have a job you probably cannot afford health care.

This was debated on National Public Radio yesterday (29 Sep)..They were tossing out numbers and statistics about the rational of the health insurance industry - without addressing the real elephant in the room - why there is a health insurance industry in the first place....The real issues are why is the US at the bottom of the industrialized world vis a vis vital statistics such as longevity which is declining and also infant mortality...

One of the commentators/experts on NPR's show yesterday was boasting about the quality of US hospitals - and how they had moved away from the ward system and compared so favorably to those in the DEVELOPING WORLD....not Europe mind you but the developing world!!!
