Ambitious healthcare promise

Justin Webb | 02:56 UK time, Wednesday, 25 February 2009

The healthcare promise - reform cannot wait another year - is staggeringly ambitious. Can he do it?

Carter promised it. So did Clinton. Even Teddy Roosevelt, according to Mr Obama (I didn't know that!)

I hope so: just had another bill from the hospital for my son - this was for a day of education about diabetes. Cost: $629. Madness.

My insurer will pay - several of the other parents were barely able to manage to provide sugar-free breakfasts. They won't pay.

They will be chased: money will chase money and never catch up.

It is appallingly wasteful.
