Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. The ongoing quest for providing universal health insurance has done little more than deepen the social, political and cultural quagmire of America's health care system. Even with employer-subsidized and private insurance coverage, there are still nearly fifty million people in the United States who are without any type of health insurance. Statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that while the number of uninsured individuals in 2007 (45.7 million) is less than in 2006 (47 million), the total still reflects a system whereby those of low-income status holding jobs where no insurance is offered represent a significant percentage of the overall population. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Health care reform has been a thorn in the nations side ever since the development of private insurance and employer-supplied coverage after World War II
(Skidmore, 2005). This union-supported venture did not sit well with subsequent presidents, such as Truman, who tried hard to reform health care so as to reflect a more comprehensive
and viable commodity for all Americans. Clinton even took a shot at it, however, one might readily argue that his was the most catastrophic failure of all attempts made
in past decades, with Johnsons passing of Medicare and Medicaid proving to be the only successful endeavor. Leaving the entire burden upon employers as a means by which to
