摘要：In the past few years, demands for health care reform have reached a fever pitch in the United States. The General Accounting and Congressional Budget Offices have recommended a "Canadian-style" national health care system. Democrats, taking a cue from Harris Wofford's successful championship of health care reform in Pennsylvania's Senatorial runoff, hope the issue can break the monotony of post-Gulf politics. The American Medical Association, always leery of political intrusions, has joined a debate it can no longer ignore. Labour has demanded health care reform in its ongoing battle against the erosion of workplace benefits. And, most remarkably, "[m]ore and more business people," as Chyrsler's Lee laccoca observes, "are not just whispering but talking out loud about making health care financing a government responsibility."
