He also said VOUCHER CARE is indefensible and contrary to all relevant comparisons to the difference govt run health care system and private insurance. Medicare Advantage (private insurance-more expensive to run, lower patient satisfaction ratings and outcomes). Countries with govt run health care systems for all have more people covered, provide more than comparative satisfactorycare and are cheaper than US health care costs.

Insurance companies are rapacious everyone knows it. Private insurance companies ARE the "death panels". I mean put old people whose eyes are failing in the position of having to study the legalese and fine print of insurance mumbo jumbo. What a crock of vulture capitalistic crap. The only reason they're doing this is because employers hate having to pay their portion of SS and Medicare withholding and business have the wherewithal to make campaign contributions (bribes by any other name). Vote Democratic and get these elder killers out of congress.
