It really all boils down to this:
Are we going to continue to let private for profit concerns determine how much and what kind of treatment regular Americans will receive keeping in mind that we will have no recourse against these mega corporations except through law suits

Or...

Are we going to accept an equaling out of health care provided to Americans so that all the rest of us who aren't multi-millionaires can have fair and equitable access to health care keeping in mind that if things go wrong we can voice our disfavor by voting?

Well, America, what's it gonna be?

Clerks who make their living by denying health care or a system that will give access to us all.

That's the choice.

That simple.

Really.

That's what the argument really is all about.

1. Well Said, Sir!
"Clerks who make their living by denying health care or a system that will give access to us all."

Private insurance in a nutshell....

2. That is the choice.
And I know where I am.

We all need access to a fairly run system. I'm wondering just why most folks haven't figured this one out yet...

3. Because the GOP and the health industry stooges in our party are
scarring people into thinking that they will be denied adequate health care.

4. And then there's the ones like Bacaus who have become so corrupt
they don't even bother to pretend that they haven't sold their votes to the insurance companies.

5. And the one who is higher up, President Obama himself,
Who acts like having the Single Payer Universal Health Care people around would plunge his Administration into anarchy. He's always gotta make Big Money real happy.

7. I really didn't see any of the other major candidates embrace
single payer.

This tinkering around the edges is just delaying the collapse of the whole system.

6. Always with the fear tactics.
When you don't have viable ideas, you run with fear.


But it works, and that's why they do it.
