National Healthcare Debate
Healthcare is crucial issue this year with the upcoming elections. Six times in the last 60 years, Presidents and other law makers have attempted to pass some form of universal healthcare on a national level. In what could be an interesting issue during this fall's elections, Massachusetts's legislature has passed the nation's first form of universal healthcare.

Below are links to the New York Times article on Massachusetts's plan, a national plan put forth by Representative John Dingell, and policy analysis by a variety of think tanks on the issue of national healthcare.
