In 1994, President Bill Clinton, strongly influenced by his wife Hillary, led a campaign to instill national healthcare as a federal priority. It failed miserably, but why?  The majority of Americans, at the beginning of their quest, agreed that universal healthcare was an important issue to be considered.

 It makes no sense to many Americans that an inmate who has committed crimes against society has the right to health care, yet the average hard-working citizen can be denied medical treatment until it’s too late – or too expensive.

 What happened to compassion and quality in the healthcare industry?  Greed and finger pointing have replaced it.  Can we ever overcome these issues and focus on a solution so that everyone is included as insured, with no one person left behind?

 Many states have decided not to wait for federal legislation to be enacted covering all Americans for their healthcare needs.  These grassroots campaigns are being implemented in almost every state – many with promising results.

 The process to eliminate medically homeless patients is a long, arduous journey.  There have been countless proposals for universal healthcare, but not one has been approved by both parties in Congress.
