As usual Kucinich is right on target. We really should just make the
program Medicare for everybody. So what if it put the health insurance
companies out of business? It won't because they'll just take their
assets and go into some other form of insurance. No skin off their
nose so don't listen to their sob story lies. Mexico offers health care
at $250 a year. Turq said he could get health care in France for $350 a
year. Many people in this country pay more than that a month for health
care in the US. This morning on Ed Schultz's show a caller from Canada
who is an American expat said he pays $56 a month for Canadian care and
he is probably in his 50s or 60s. Why can't we have that here?
I'll tell you why. The 900 pound gorilla in the room that scares
everyone is "laissez faire" capitalism. It has created these huge
monsters like the for profit health insurance companies that while
denying a few hundred thou to someone for care they pay their fat cat
CEO millions. See why capitalism breed unfairness and inequity? The
countries that have good public health care programs may well be more
socialist than the US. But I don't recall seeing state run corner
stores, gas stations, super markets, theaters, etc. No you have the
government run areas that is appropriate such as health care. You allow
"limited" capitalism in areas where it makes sense. But as we've seen
recently the majority of the US populace doesn't even know what
socialism really is let alone capitalism.
