Series Part II

Continuation of the series began August 25:

Healthcare

Having private insurance companies in the United States appears to have led us down the path of the capitalists, which is to maximize profit for stakeholders at any cost. Primary services such as healthcare should not be in such custody. Everyone deserves to be healthy and should be entitled to the same treatment opportunities, regardless of income. Government run healthcare seems to be working well in Canada and in Europe. Instead of raising taxes, the United States can simply nationalize the private insurance companies and employees pay premiums (though the premium per person will be the same for everyone) to the government healthcare system instead of to a private insurance company.
