From the Paper:

"The healthcare system in the U.S. is one of the most technologically advanced and expensive in the world. Despite these high honors, we are facing a severe healthcare crisis if current public policy does not change. The current system is haunted by lack of health insurance, lack of affordability of prescription medication, drug re-importation, and lack of trained caregivers for the growing population. On top of all this, the price of healthcare and medicine are skyrocketing. A possible solution that has picked up some steam is changing the current healthcare system into a free system. One very important question that needs an answer is if we switch to a free healthcare system, then who would pay for it since "free" healthcare is not really free at all?"
