In the 2006 election citizens said in exit polling that they favored National Health Care.
As far as I'm concerned we should do what is best for us not lable it as Socialism or Communism. Do they call the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Germany Socialists or Communists? Nope.
Right now what we have is not working...we should think outside the box to solve problems. If they don't work get rid of it. Privitization and corportism is not working as an example of what we should get rid of. But Congress and the President are self serving so we have to keep after them.
Not one manadate of the 2006 election (selection) has been carried out. They did children's insurance that that's it. Then they did hearings which ended up going no where. We asked for health care for all not one age group.
Kucinich made a good point that National Health Care would be cheaper since profit (huge profit for shareholders and CEOs) is involved in private insurance. Right now our health costs are higher than any developed country with worse care. Will the British or Spain buy those corporations any time soon like our energy and roads?
