Health-care in America is now in a crisis. Insurance providers make discount "deals" with health care providers who in turn charge full price to the uninsured, those least able to afford double what the the insured is charged. More and more businesses are either dropping health insurance coverage or sharing the cost with employees. Insurance companies refuse to take the time to add riders and therefore it is not possible to get private insurance unless you have never been ill a day in your life! The millions of working people living near the poverty level are not even in a position to consider private insurance. We are long overdue in taking steps to remove high income earning potentials of health care providers so that health care is no longer a luxury of the rich.
