The only way to do this is to establish federal funding to pay for health care costs. If health insurance is mandated (much like auto insurance in the United States)as recommended by Hillary Clinton, this would provide insurance companies with a large enough risk pool to cover uninsured’s - however, the problem remains that there is no good reason for people to buy mandated health care coverage. So cooperation will be difficult.

Allow for more market forces, it is when the government gets involved costs always skyrocket. Those famous words "We are from the government and we are here to help you" Just look at this bail out, how many TRILLIONS of dollars are involved.
I had a business that was making me a very nice living, it came to an end when a lease ran out and government regulations prohibited me of finding another location for over 2 years. Now my bank accounts are empty and bill is very late, WHERE IS MY BAIL OUT?

I remember the saying "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country". It's the quintessential era of tightening belts in the US and if sacrifices like these do not take place, then the government will spiral into recession which in most cases they do not want to happen. The rich will have to budge; senior citizens should reap their benefits as is. Health care is a necessity and should not be just given to a chosen few. Reform is needed and I hope you would get to follow Canada's system where that is priority .The US should take a lead, and never be just a second rate, trying hard, copy cat.
