   Lack of health care in USA is causing all our problems. Employers can’t afford to pay insurance, that’s why they don’t hire permanent employees anymore. Only temps. The auto makers are going bust because their number one cost, health care, is never, ever going away and it will only get bigger.

   Socialized medicine in other countries WORKS. Citizens in Canada, Germany, Great Britain, and France get quality medical care. There is no reason, other than we are too ignorant and believe the lies the health care industry wants is to believe, for it to not work here.

   As a military retiree and a state employee all my health care is from the government. My family and I enjoy a high level of quality care. All Americans should be able to enjoy the same. It is possible. We just have to be brave enough to risk being a little ‘socialist’.

   The people who should be investigated along with all the other greedy bankers, CEO’s etc. is the pharmacutical companies and insurance companies. Straighten them out and some of our problems would be solved right away!

    Universal “health care” means the government can forbid treatment, and you can’t do anything about it.

    Yes, I guess you are right. But why would they forbid a claim? Think about it. Claims are cancelled all the time under our current system. Why? Because they cost too much money. Under a federally funded program they are non-profit. Which means they dont have to cancel claims due to ‘it would cost us too much to get this VOTER alive.’ I’d much rather argue with a government operator than someone from Bangladesh hired by the insurance company to deny claims because they cost too much.
