		<description><![CDATA[The United States government spent $783 billion in 2006 on Medicare and Medicaid. If we went to a universal healthcare in this country, it would probably go well over a trillion dollars. And taxes would certainly increase. American&#8217;s want affordable healthcare or a universal healthcare system. This is going to be a huge debate going [...]

Anyone who takes the time to understand universal health care should conclude that only a simple single payer system will reform the current outrageous system that benefits the insurance and pharmaceutical industries. The contorted plans from Clinton [...]
