A poor country, Cuba, has universal free medical care and a life 
expectancy of 78.0 years, exactly the same as the US.  In the year 2010, 
why does the insurance industry have such an iron grip on Washington 
that the US is alone among overdeveloped countries in refusing to 
provide medical care to all of its citizens? 

The Missouri Universal Health Assurance Act would eliminate HMOs, 
capitation and other vehicles for profiteering.  It would include dental 
services, educational loans for health care providers, and a fair, 
progressive income tax.
