Will more government involvement in health care help improve care, reduce costs, and increase access? While we hear scary rhetoric about a crisis, the reality is that there is no country with better access to the best quality health care, but also the ability to provide a fairly high bar for those that can't personally afford it. The real issue with the current system could well be too much government involvement in creating a tax benefit to company provided care and by managing the largest pool of individuals through Medicare and Medicaid (though technically a state issue).
