Part of the problem is that the politicians have once again succeeded in creating a wedge issue.

It's a false dichotomy--according to many Americans, there is the status quo and socialized medicine, and no room for compromise. With 40% of employers not offering any type of health insurance, and 9 million kids without coverage, the status quo sucks. You won't know that until it effects you.

There are many viable alternatives-- Health care systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An interesting note--The United States is alone among developed nations with the absence of a universal healthcare system.

An interesting page of stats-- NCHC | Facts About Healthcare - Health Insurance Coverage

So Osbourne, you better keep your powder dry, cause change is coming.
