Single Payor Health - A Social OBLIGATION We have a health care system which is inadeqate, too expensive, draining our resources, working to bankrupt this country with even more devastating results. A healthy nation is a productive nation. If resources/insurance is no longer available/obtainable, as happens more each day, the government must step in. When a resourse becomes criminal, in its gouging of the public, that's why we have a system which is able implement progams to protect its citizens. Obviously, when it comes to your money or your life, most people will opt for life When their money is gone, forget it!!! The markets don’t/won’t work where such blackmail runs rampant. As for delays in service, they already exist. Quality of care, no matter what the system, is diminished only by what devotion people have to their jobs. There is nothing in the bill which says you will not have access to your own doctor. As I understand it, Michael Jackson paid one of his doctors #125,000 a month. Look where it got him!! “Whatever the market will (can steal) bear”??? BULL!!!! Be wary of the scare tactics being used, with your financing, to influence your thinking on this topic. Fear mongering is their only defense.

This is such a MAJOR MAJOR step. Big Big National program,that I
think we have to be grateful , at this point, that they are seriously
even discussing any kind of health care plan. As I posted before
THEODORE ROOSEVELT, "Teddy" couldn't figure out why we never had
something for our 'workers' like Germany did even then. If Rita would
get off that damned electric bicycle should could probably tell us
about going to high school with Teddy.
Once we have 'any' kind of Health Care bill in place then they
can iron the kinks out every damned year if need be.

That really worked out well so far.... There are only 4 problems with health care: 1. Doctors 2. Hospitals 3. Drug companies 4. Government. Because of the filthy billions of profit these all make (Government makes a "profit" by getting paid payoffs disguised as campaign contributions to get re-elected), they all have a vested interest in keeping everything the same or if "changed", then to their betterment. 1. Doctors. There is no competition. They can't advertise, which really is against the law (restraint of trade etc). They're not held accountable by the people, only by themselves. The AMA restricts supply and demand by keeping universities starved for students, limiting how many each can graduate each year. Bad doctors are kept hidden and discipline is secret. 2. Hospitals. They suck billions in tax dollars out each year for "indigent health care", billions in other forms like paying no taxes becausae most of them are "charities" or "non profit" institutions. Thus, they pay millions to each other's CEOs under the guise of "non-profit" status. They have no interest in cutting costs becuase they don't have to compete or fight in the public market. 3. Drug Companies. They have an illegal monopoly here in the USA. THis is where they sell Zanex for $20 a pill here, and in Africa or S.America for $.50c and in canada for $3.00. And they make a profit in each case! They also pay off our politicos to keep their illegal monopoly going. 4. Government. Every politician in every government entity actually works for them all. Through �compaign Contributions� which is really graft, corruption and payoffs, they stay in business keeping the other 3 in business. SOLUTION: Stop all PAC or any other money going to politicians. Restrict all donations to under $100 and make them only from individuals, never packaged, never bundled, but coming from 1 only individual in one envelope one time. Thus the politicos will have to appeal to the actual public, to people themselves, to really represent the people to get re-elected, not the big business. Once our politicians start representing the people instead of the greedy crooks, then all the problems with health care will magically disappear. -- A fine is a tax for doing wrong A tax is a fine for doing well
