Social security and health insurance.

[Spero Mcgee]

So just recently on the news I saw something about insurance in America.
I always knew that some people in America are simply too poor to pay for it and because of it simply live without any insurance. The Dutch reporter was at some place in Virginia where alot of tents were sent up and volunteer doctors, etc gave away free health care.
Thousands of people were litteraly in line coming from all different places waiting even early in the morning to receive health care.
The demand for help in America was apparently so high, that even some international projects were stopped.(if I didn't misunderstand)
Also the problem with health care seemed to affect alot of Americans, because I think I heard about 40 million+ people have this problem.

1 guy even had such an awfull dental problem(couldn't pay for a dentist), that his teeth had to be pulled out and received a denture free of charge.
And it was said that a denture normally costs 2500 dollars.

As the Dutch reporter mentioned, it was rather suprising to see a rich country(although imho at the moment actually really poor with all the expenses,etc) such as America with this kind of problem. A problem as he said, you'd normally see in Third World countries.

So I was wondering what do you guys, think about this?
And also I hope you guys are adequately insured.
I did hear good news though that Obama is working on some new kind of system, but like with everything such plans usually take a long time before they even are in effect.
