Team Effort in the House to Overhaul Health Care

I am really excited to see where this goes, while our country is one of the leaders in health care in terms of technology and research, our country has such great disparities when it comes to health care access. With the correct reform, we could see a great advancement with health care coverage but we will need the support and input of both parties in congress for this, because at first glance, this reform is seen as very liberal (in terms of nationalizing, making it available to all citizens) but, in order for this to be truly successful we need conservative input in terms of mandates if we want insurance companies and private hospitals to comply in order to ensure fair coverage. It is know that states (including Wisconsin) offer such State regulated health care access to all children such as the Wisconsin Women Infants and Children Program and BadgerCare with out straining the state's economy or even placing heavy restrictions on health care providers all while offering families the health care coverage they need. I think that if we really utilize the Congress members from these states, the government can successfully implement a similar federalized program.
