This wikizine is designed as a clearing house for information and opinions on the ongoing debates over affordability in Health Insurance and the efficacy of universal health coverage.
The national discussion has heated up as more people slip through the cracks of health care costs, or find their current health care insurance leaves them vulnerable. As the national demand for a viable solution to the health care crisis increases, this issue will draw all '08 presidential candidates to weigh in as each puts forth a plan they hope will impress voters. This wikizine hopes to track those proposals and opinions about those proposals.
In addition, the Health Insurance wikizine includes any information that reveals how the system currently works (or fails to work), any news and discussion of plans and proposals for future systems, and all opinions on the road to viable solutions.
