This is where the affluent capitalists will have a gripe at him; the increase for them, at the same time curtailing increases for the low/mid income levels. I am not sure, its a tough call but in the end a mediocre healthcare system that is there for everyone is still better than one a really good one, for those who can afford it, from a totally humanitarian point of view. Everyone deserves to live a lifetime.
The U.S. system is bloody awful. It makes me laugh how some yanks whinge about the state of health care in Europe and Australia, when it is heaps better than the joke it is in America.
