Just say NO to private health care!
I see that Ghoul-iani came out with his "health care" idea today, emphasizing private health care and denouncing single-payer as 'socialism'. I'm sorry, Mr. "9-11", but private health care has had its chance for quite some time, and it SUCKS. Sure, it might be pretty good if you have plenty of money and can afford the very best doctors. But what about the rest of us? No thanks. We are sick and tired of your lies, and we are fed up with people like you denouncing systems that work. Why do these people seem so damned insistent on sticking with a broken system? A single-payer system, in which everyone gets the same treatment, is the ONLY way to go. Otherwise, we're back to where we've always been - the rich get the best treatment, while the rest of us suffer.

1. MarKet Fundamentalism on the rampage
"We have to let the market work its will" "The Democrats
will bring you Socialized Medicine....that is European, not
American."

He also says he will use Tax Credits and each person will
purchase their own insurance. Can he count??? Is he aware
of the size the tax credit would have to be in order for it
to work. Admits will not cover everyone.

Repeat Democrats will bring you a European Socialized Medicine
System. UnAmerican !

2. OK, but I also say NO to employer-funded health care
which is still the central point of both Edwards' and Obama's.

And, yes, both still rely on private insurance.

At least with Giuliani, employers are out of the picture and those of us, who currently are not covered by our employers, can get the same tax benefits as the ones who are.
