learning from the past

Our country was founded by men and women who left one bad situation in search of a better solution. As we created our United States of America, we looked to our former home in Europe to help us decide how we wanted to shape our own government . We looked at components we didn't like, we looked at positive factors, and we took these observations to create our own system.

Why can we not do this again? Let us follow the actions that lead us to create the United States of America and step away from a bad system. We know that not only do we not like our current healthcare system, but we also know that it simply is not working. We have examined our system and are struggling to determine what would be best for us now. Lets us again look over to Europe and other nations to help us create our own system.

There is much to be learned from these other systems. We can look at the positive and negative aspects to the systems in the UK, France, Cuba, and Taiwan. We can create a new healthcare system that does not leave 17% of the population without health insurance and struggling to pay for even basic healthcare. We need to focus on our people., the people that make us a democracy. So let us step away from a bad system, learn from our peers and create our own new better system.
