Abstract
The one issue that all Americans agree on is we need to reform our health care system in some way; the part we don’t agree on is how to reform it. There will be no reform that will make every citizen happy, in truth I feel that either way we go, half of the country will be happy and half of the country will be disappointed. As a country we need to fix how the older citizens are treated, how our under privileged citizens are treated, and how to take care of all of those falling in the middle. Most civilized countries do have some form of socialized medicine and even in those countries you get a country divided. Washington has a tough job, we need affordable health care that is also good quality and can be provided to all of the citizens.

Our population has grown extremely fast and our life expectancy continues to rise as well. When many of our current social programs were implemented people were not expected to live to 90-100, we now have parents and children who both qualify for Medicare at the same time. On top of the aging population living longer we
