EXPLAIN THE ARGUMENS OF THE PARTIES WHO DISAGREE OVER THE ISSUE ???…
Yes. Have the system similar to the UK – if you don’t want to go to the National Health Service, then go to a private hospital which you pay for yourself.

No. It takes away your freedom of choice. The government will tell you what doctors to see and what medicine to take. Thanks but no thanks.
There is no authority in the Consitution for the government to provide anything besides a common defence. They usually make the situation worse when they try.

There needs to be some way that everyone can afford good insurance. The medical industry along with the insurance industry has the general population by the short hairs. Some say that with government sponsored insurance there would be no choice in doctors and such but that is going on right now. Then your insurance pretends to cover things so you go to the doctor to get treatment and then the insurance denies it for stupid reasons and you end up paying out of your pocket anyway besides paying the insurance premium, the copay and the deductible. (for example I had mammograms denied twice – once from a flexible spending account which was my money to spend on things that the insurance didn’t cover because the procedure was performed by a technician and not a doctor and the second time the first time submitted they said there were two readings when there wasn’t then they told the billing person at the doctors I had exceeded my maximum lifetime benefits of $1 million when I had the policy for a year and and used a few hundred dollars on it.)
We do not just need low cost insurance but wide reform in the insurance and medical industries.

No. Britain’s health system is a nightmare. People cannot get needed medical care. There are long waits and it costs the citizens of Britain a fortune to maintain.

Cost and value are part of an ethical conversation "We The People" need to have.
Which costs more?
A. Developing adequate programs to account for sensible costs for comprehensive healthcare.
B. Treating people in emergency rooms who with no healthcare coverage rely on the emergency treatment.
The value of healthier communities out weighs the class warfare of wealth verses poverty.

First they should establish a basic minimum of coverage nationally–this would eliminate quality issues, since all insurances do not meet a minimum standard.
