Obama's Health Care Proposal -- Are American's Ready?

In last night's speech by President Obama on the state of American health care, he said that the US was the "only advanced democracy on earth … that allows such hardships for millions of its people." So how can we, working within the health care arena work to enhance the lives of our fellow citizens? What steps can we take to ensure that our insurance, medical care and preventative medicine offer the best tools for a healthy nation?

The President said his plan would meet three basic goals: provide more security and stability to those who have health insurance, provide insurance to those who do not have it, and slow the growth of healthcare costs.
