Why does the US need health care reform?

In: Healthcare Reform [Edit categories]

Answer:

50 Million Americans do not have health insurance and another 25 Million Americans are considered under insured. In addition, over the past 10 years, health care costs have increased by 120% while our GDP and wages have only increased by 30%. Health care costs are rising at twice the rate of inflation and are bankrupting private citizens, state governments and the federal government.
