Affordable Health Insurance

The author of this article discusses the challenges America faces when it comes to providing its citizens with affordable health insurance ...

I have been working on the battle for affordable health insurance for all for a good long time, so I could be thought of as some what of an expert on the area. Well, let me tell you how things stand in the fight for affordable health care. Most people probably already know that it can be very hard to find access to affordable health insurance. Unless your employer covers you, or you are a civil servant, you will have to pay a lot more for healthcare than you should, and possibly more than you can afford. For this reason, many people across the state and across the country are trapped in dead end jobs in the hopes of keeping their affordable health insurance. Although they are not  doing satisfying work, or advancing their careers, they have to stay with the same old gig because, if they do not, they will lose their health coverage and be in real trouble.

Among the people without affordable health insurance are many children in this country. Let us face it – despite being the very richest country in the world, we have failed many of our citizens, even children, in not providing them with the access to affordable health insurance which is, quite literally, a matter of life and death to many. Without affordable health insurance and good nutrition, many of the poorest are chronically sick and struggling with their medical expenses, unable to pay what it is that they owe, and so always under the crushing weight of poverty.

Although there are many reformists who are actually industry flunkies claiming that all is needed is a little reform to insure affordable health insurance, anyone who has been on the front lines like I have been will tell you the simple truth. The best route to affordable health insurance is obvious, and has been obvious for a good long time. As a nation, we just can not go without having single payer health insurance any more. With single payer health care, every citizen of the country will be guaranteed affordable health insurance, paid through their taxes. Although some people say that it can be expensive to add a new service, it will be, in fact, much cheaper than paying private, for-profit industries to insure us as we do now. It is really the natural solution to each and every one of our affordable health insurance problems faced in America today.
