A clear majority of Americans want a single-payer, European/Canadian style govt. healthcare program. The problem is that our government is bought and paid for by corporate donors who scare off the politicians and thwart the democratic will of the people.

But, the paradox in the U.S. is that more and more jobs, even so-called "professional" jobs, are dropping healthcare from their benefits package, and even the jobs that do offer healthcare only offer bare bones health care with sky high deductibles. As a result, no one is happy with our private health care system. No one. Not the medical community. Not the people. Not businesses. No one, except for a hand full of HMO companies and their CEOs.

Private health insurance is failing big time in America, and the only thing keeping it in place at all is campaign contributions.
