Why the effort to keep private insurers in the mix? It's like subsidizing buggy makers. |

Their day is over. Their time has passed. They are slow, cumbersome and inefficient. They care about profits and CEO salaries over the health of their subscribers.
They could have done a better job IF THEY HAD CHOSEN TO. They chose not to. I am happy to fire them. We deserve better. Only Kucinich is strong enough to suggest the sweeping, not incremental, changes that are necessary to change the system - Single payer universal health.
One the 2 issues that matter the most to me - war and health - Kucinich is the best candidate.

7. Your only choice: whose fangs go in the easiest? |
|
As soon as I hear any candidate say "We want to make health care more affordable" I know they are in the Insurance companies' pockets and there will still be millions without insurance under such "plans."
