Debate on Universal healthcare shaping up in USA!



It is important to stay tuned on what happens in health care area in the (yet) biggest economy on the planet i.e. USA. USA spends about 15% of its GDP on health care and still fares poorly in comparison with other developed countries, on most health indicators. I thought some people will be keen to learn what the Nobel Laureate economist Paul Krugman has to say about universal health care. Here is an excerpt from a You Tube video. Take a listen. Also, enclosing a link for an interesting article by Mr. Krugman published in New York Times: Healthcare Now

You may also be interested in seeing how the Obama administration is leveraging social media technology to further the debate on this issue: Obama's Healthcare plan for US

We will soon get back to our debate on public versus private health care system in Canada. Stay tuned!
