Health Care Debate

President Obama has made universal health care coverage an important agenda item. This act would insure 40 million Americans who are today without health coverage. On the other hand, some estimates suggest that it would cost taxpayers in excess of $1.3 trillion.  The questions for you are these: Is it feasible to change the nation’s health care at such a high cost at a time when the nation suffers from a severe economic decline? Is it morally acceptible to deny 40 million people health care for the sake of keeping the economy stable?
