Hillary and Health Care

So, Hillary is getting on the bandwagon for national health insurance requirements. I don't know whether her idea can do anything to help with the health-care crisis in this country, though from what I've read the mandatory requirement for citizens to purchase health insurance has become an untenable boondoggle in the states that have tried it. But what I do know is that Hillary and our other elected leaders need to pursue legislation that would help to keep us all healthier in the first place. We need our elected officials to step up and provide some kind of minimum protections for us, and for future generations similar to the protections against environmental toxins being implemented in Europe, Japan, Canada, and even China and Mexico!
