In his letter to the Portland Press Herald, David Jolly explains the many ways that universal health care would help our health system woes. He concludes:

“…Everyone realizes our health care system is broken. Its problems are legion. …there are, to name a few, provider shortages that lead to long waits for care; insurance plans with such high deductibles that people end up paying for all their care out of pocket; and mountains of medical debt (the number one cause of bankruptcy in America).

We remain the only developed nation without some form of universal health care. There are a number of ways to achieve this, but a single-payer system would be the simplest, least expensive and fairest system for patients, providers and hospitals.”
