Reply #19: Why? Indeed. How? Indeed. [View All]

I've been here on DU for less than a year, and I've seen many of these threads about the deplorable state of Health(less) care in the US. I'm always amazed at how many people haven't really been aware of these figures and stats. Yes, it *REALLY* is as bad as this!

I see over and over the same comments made about why Universal coverage "won't work" (imported directly from the RW), and the same gripes about the abysmal sorry state in this nation.

So, here's my "Modest Proposal" -- How 'bout we form a sort of "Think Tank" here on DU, and put together all the salient facts from the previous threads, and invite the many here who are quite well informed, and see if we can come up with some clear directions to take. There is a lot of knowledge and talent here on this forum, and it seems to me we could actually do something more than trade war stories (althought that is important, also.)

So, how 'bout it....... can we take a step forward, and see if we can actually make some progress in this issue?

This is a hot issue this year, and maybe we can add some power to making some strides with this.
