Healthcare for All

I hope to see in the coming year a universal healthcare system instituted in this country. Not mandated healthcare, but the expansion of Medicare/Medicaid to cover all Americans. Doing such would do more for the middle class than any stimulus or bailout possibly could. Forcing people to buy subsidized health coverage from the big insurance companies isn't enough, not unless the quality of coverage can be guanranteed and the prices kept low. Why outsource to the people already scamming us what we can do better? We need this more now than ever, please help us do something about it.
