5. We need to get rid of the "Your Money or Your Life" health care Star Chambers.
Edited on Mon Oct-17-11 11:44 AM by RC
What is really needed is to get the "Your Money or Your Life" health insurance companies out of dictating who lives and who dies, based on their bottom line, their profits.

Every other civilized country has gone to some form of Single Payer, Universal Health Care. We have not. Is it because we are not actually as civilized as we think we are? Our acts of aggression against other countries says no, we are not.

So, here we sit with the cost of health care well up on the J curve and the best we could do was a mandated purchasing of health insurance from private companies?

The bill was so bad, no one, not even the the 'profits first over your life' health insurance companies who helped write the bill liked it, because it would cut into their profits too much.
Get the private, greedy, for profit, Your Money or Your Life health insurance companies out of the Star Chamber business, where your health is concerned.

Single Payer, Universal Health Care is the Civilized way for a nation to care for its citizens.
