What is the best possible solution? Is it to move toward a universal health-care system, as system that could reduce financial worries and allow you to receive the necessary preventive medical treatment and also reduces the risk of health problems from becoming complicated and too expensive to treat? The downside, a universal health care system will require government involvement, typically in the forms of enacting legislation, mandates, regulation and could include the government managing the health care system. But right now people who have health insurance face overpriced hospital fees because of the uninsured; these fees help balance their healthcare cost.
