Health Care Reform

A look into history of health care reform politics and attempts by Presidents and their parties for to pass universal coverage.
Reporter's Notebook
Gary Davis
 In my research, I discovered the elusive nature that health care reform seems to possess. Impassioned debates over a national health program go back nearly a hundred years, yet a lot of voters think it’s a relatively new topic of national interest. And, it seems to be one of those political milestones that no President or party can quite reach. Yet people (and politicians) agree: big reforms are needed, with more than 47 million Americans uninsured today, and many people forced into bankruptcy by staggering health care costs. Republican and Democrat voters I spoke with agreed that everyone should have access to care, but they don’t agree on government’s role. What do you think the federal government should do (or shouldn’t do) to reform our health care system? Do you believe the parties can put aside their differences to craft some new solutions?
