That is why everyone or their parents and guardians will
be required to start paying insurance. Those families that are
too poor will have it included in their welfare payments just
as now with Medi-Aid.
This will be needed even if cooperative groups are running
health care plans for the lower middle class.
And I consider it vital for the Public Health that everyone should
have access to medical care.

Just so but at least some people would be healthier instead of
dead or
severely damaged in foreign climes. Right now because they have
no insurance
people have to wait until they get sick enough to go to emergency
rooms
when more heroic treatments are required.
According to what we hear today maybe salt should be taxed so people
don't use so much. It is very deadly in amounts over the 2300 mg
allowed in
a day.. For some people it may be less well tolerated.
The Canadians manage to have Health Insurance available to all
by taxes paid by everyone but by Province which would be by State
here. Canada appears not to be particularly held back in any way by
these well spent taxes. Of course in the USA we have to spend all
our money on the Military and the Secret Police aka DEA so maybe
we would have a harder time paying the increment to afford health
care for the poor.
