Must start over, article is woefully inadequate
It would help if we got some practice expressing both sides. Try contributing to [[Debate:Is universal health care better than market-based medicine?]] first. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 14:02, 11 July 2007 (EDT)

==Substandard==
The article was almost pure opinion and POV. Better to have nothing than something this poorly written.
Someone, please start over with a good definition of what UHC is - or is supposed to be.
For example, how is it different from [[socialized medicine]] or [[free health insurance]]?
Is it an ideal, or a government mandate?
Who wants it, and why?
Does it describe a ''law'' or a ''situation''? Does it entail a ''system'', or does it refer to a hoped-for ''reality''?
Perhaps it would be easier to describe [[health care]] in various countries we are all familiar with, first. Start with the family doctor, or the local hospital. Talk about [[health insurance]] and [[HMO]]s provided by local employers. Add to that [[Medicaid]] and [[Medicare]], or their counterparts overseas.
Then write some articles about places where people are too poor to get decent medical care.
Only then can we really write adequately about the partisan politics of "health". --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 14:14, 11 July 2007 (EDT)
