Universal health care....
does not involve paying private insurance companies premiums, only to be turned down at their whim when you need them most.

Time to stop bickering over Hillary's and Obama's health care plans... the both involve PRIVATE INSURANCE, and they both suck.

Single payer, with private insurance cut out of the picture, is the only true universal health care!

1. Yes, but the American people, including Democrats have ...
swallowed the propaganda from the health industry.
In all other industrialized nations of the world, except us, the government pays private doctors for the care they give. It costs them half the price it costs here, because there are no executives making $multi million salaries.

3. Not to mention the hundred million dollar ad campaigns to convince
us that 'this' insurance is better than 'that' insurance. Who pays for THOSE?

4. We pay for those ads, and executive salaries, so that we can spend ..
more for prescription drugs and medical care than any people in the world.

5. A card in the mail to every citizen
that says you have the right to health care any time you need it is the only true universal health care. I agree with that. Neither Obama or Hillary are offering it.
