Universal Health Care: Not All It's Cracked Up To Be Or Is It??

I had no idea where to begin when I first started my research project. I guess I was still stunned by the fact that i had to write a 12-14 page paper. WOW! Anyway, when the initial shock wore off and I came around, I thought, I'll do healthcare as my topic. I have always been passionate about it. That's the topic for me. Did some research. Found some things in favor of my topic, also found some things opposed to my topic. Never really found anything fair and unbiased.
I am the type of person that doesn't jump the gun and take one side without hearing both sides of the argument. I might still be wrong at the end of the process, but at least I formed an opinion after hearing both sides.
I was looking at book after book on the topic of health care for my book review. Had no luck. Went to lunch and came back. Looked around for another ten minutes and this book just kinda jumped out at me. I quickly scanned it and took in a little of the info and decided this was the book for me. Got home and started reading it more and came to the realization that I needed to switch gears. Same topic, new direction. It would be great if this country had some form of universal health care, but as my book I chose says, somebody has to pay for it.

Yep, and then there's that buggery thing called taxes. As with everything - it's much more complex than "somebody oughtta give the poor people health care."
