Single-payer health plan best
With an estimated 300,000 Utahns without health insurance, medical costs are the leading cause of Utah bankruptcy filings, and Utah businesses are hard-pressed to keep up with employee health benefit premiums with increases of 16 percent a year. With 45 million Americans uninsured, can we set aside the argument about when life begins and instead ask ourselves why life has to prematurely end for some 18,000 uninsured Americans per year? If the United States had an infant mortality rate as good as Cuba's, we would save an additional 2,212 American babies a year. Can any of us with insurance feel certain we will have coverage should we develop a chronic illness or experience a job change?
