Hello. I am afraid that the health care situation in the US is really critical. More and more people have no insurance coverage and even thouse who have it can't be sure if the insurance companies will pay for the treatment. First I hoped that Obama's policy would help the people, but now it seems that the only ones who are actually protected by the government are the insurance companies.
All the best,
