It will be next year before statistics for coverage are reflected in relation to the new mandates requiring everyone to have insurance, which were set into place this year, though already made the point of the majority of uninsured not necessarily qualifying as unable to be insured, or not able to afford insurance. Not saying it isn't possible, just not immediately possible because the system isn't in any way equipped to do it. What is immediately possible, is to address the areas which are the greatest financial concern; that's the lower middle class, and pharma cost. The government also needs to fix their own problems first, and address the problems with people who are already have government health care. Personally think the government did the right thing with the insurance mandates, and it will absolutely make a difference in the cost of care. Also would have no problem with the money personally paid in premiums to go toward taxes instead, if the government were to show it's equipped to do the job. Right now, the national budget pays more for war than social security, welfare, or education, and as long as there's elderly on Medicare with uncovered pharmaceutical care, then they're not good enough for me. Maybe when the war is over it will be possible for the US to actually care about healthcare.
