The US is the only developed country to not guarantee universal health coverage. If I happen to visit say UK I am guaranteed health coverage. In the US where I am a taxpaying citizen I am not.

Harry Truman started lobbying for health care and it has been nearly 60 years and still we cannot protect our own citizens.
