We don't even have to reinvent the wheel.
 Have you, by any chance, read Dennis Kucinich's proposal on Universal single payer health care? He covers this pretty well. I wrote a Resolution for my caucus that opened people's eyes. Most US citizens really don't realize what it is we're paying for, and what the rest of the world does. For instance, the US pays more for health care than any other nation, yet ranks 37th (WHO) in health standards. Now, that's pretty pathetic. That's what for-profit health "care" does. I really think that if people were actually shown the facts, and what we COULD have, they would rise up and fight for it. We've been sold a billl of goods. To our own detriment. Kanary |
