OECD urges US health system reform, supports fiscal stimulus

This article emphasizes the importance of health system in US. Beofore the economy gets worsened, it is believed that they would inject more public money to help out the people in U.S. As 16% of the people are unprotected from healthcare, the goverment must step in to help out the people.

The goverment has currently imposed many fiscal stimulus like the curren huge bailing package for the financial institutions, and ther are some worries that continual support from the goverment may increase the debt in this country.

As the U.S. is th eonly OECD country that does not provide universal healthcare insurance, it would bring more devistation to people in U.S. especialy with the current recession as thounds of job cuts are being made everyday.

Healthcare is extremely important, but I don't feel right now is the best time to go about a reform. With the current economic situation, we should wait until things are more stable before looking at doing this.
