Uninsured Assurance

The health care problem is, in fact, multiple problems, not a single issue, according to USU political science faculty member Roberta Herzberg. She is working to resolve the problem of the uninsured in Utah and trying to figure out if legislation is the answer. The issues of health care, legislation and the uninsured present serious problems with no ready answers. Being able to solve everything by implementing a government mandate is overly optimistic. Proposals, each with benefits and flaws, abound. With health care issues, we need to decide what society values most before rushing to put an expensive and failed policy in place, Herzberg says.
