Most Americans Support Universal Healthcare.

I would hope most people would support the federal government guaranteeing health insurance to every American, even if it is only out of self-interest. The status of our nation's health and health-care system greatly factor into how our nation will rank in all categories in the future. Common sense should tell you that in order for our nation to be a strong nation we must also be a healthy nation, overall.

A recent cross-national evidence suggests that the greater the degree of socioeconomic inequality that exists within a society, the steeper the gradient of health inequality. As a result, middle-income groups in a less equal society will have worse health than comparable or even poorer groups in a society with greater equality.
