I like Bernie's response to Jindal's getting in the 'S' soshialist! word, standing beside smirking Santorum. Booga, booga.

Bernie is on our side and he is realistic and rational. he mentions the things that the Republicans did not talk about, debunks the socialist scare tactic and actually answers the questions.

Bobby Jindal would have his ass handed to him if he went up against Bernie the "Socialist," they all would! It is scary how dysfunctional most of our Representatives are, which can be directly attributable to the influence of the Plutocrats through their campaign bribes. It is past time to put an end to the campaign contribution. We need Publicly Funded Elections (PFEs)! If we have PFEs it would solve most of our problems!

If organized crime created a health care system, what would it look like? How would it work?

People would have to pay for protection -- call it insurance.

People would be steered into taking drugs that are difficult to stop taking. Once started in drugs (called medicines), they would gradually find themselves taking more and more drugs they could not stop taking.

People would be charged very high prices for necessary medical help such important tests and procedures. Prices for many medicines would be outrageously high.

The crime bosses would buy and otherwise influence politicians who would then protect them and their profiteering.

Honest doctors would be pressured into helping the mob maximize profits, for example, by not mentioning alternative procedures that would have to be performed elsewhere, or by selling the more expensive surgical procedures and tests that need not be done, and by scaring patients into getting such procedures.

There would be rampant advertising by drug companies to brain wash naive citizens into asking for various drugs that would supposedly provide magical benefits.

you will see a large blue button that says "start a discussion."

Click on that, and then you get the form where you can post. And then you write your post!

When you're done writing, you should preview what you wrote, just to make sure it looks the way you want it to, and then you hit the post button, at the bottom of the form.

Not too hard..........try it!
