My husband and I are trying to resist the temptation to move our business back to northern Italy, where universal health care exists, taxes are much lower, and, coincidentally, we would get to see our daughter, who's studying in Switzerland. I don't understand why the US is one of the few remaining first-world nations not to offer universal health care. And I'm not at all sure that having each party organize to defeat whatever the other party offers should be considered a "triumph."
