8. Universal health care is possible.

You have to cut out the middle-man, the insurance company, the HMO and any other traded on the stock market for profit entity. The healthcare provider then bills the single payer directly. Fees and such are hammered out on a yearly basis so that everyone is happy. Money comes out of the general fund of our US Treasury like it does in Canada. Done deal, except that we are going to have to fight those for profit sharks, the Insurance companies and HMOs tooth and nail to get it done.
