Yes, we should have universal single-payer health care.  The immovable obstacle:  the health and insurance industries.  Over the years, the combined medical and insurance industries have created a very rich and entitled class that exists off the hard work and productivity of the rest of us.  Charges for medical service and drugs are insanely high and are warranted only to preserve the rich lifestyles of those in the industry.  The dems and Obama dared not take on this massive lobby.  Obamacare has no price controls.  Who can possibly prevail against the insurance + medical lobby.  Only the people in a massive upwelling of demand.  It will be a dreadful fight limiting the privilege and compensation of the insurance and medical industry and revamping it so that more needed personnel are trained.  It would require we the people to forget the partisan bickering and join together demanding change to cost control and single payer.
