Fifty million Americans are either without health care coverage or have sub-standard insurance! As all our Canadian friends know, nationalized health care and recognizing health care as a basic human right has been very successful. Cuba, which is basically a third world country thanks to trade embargoes, has a life expectancy as great as the United States'.

We have tried putting health insurance in the hands of the private sector, and it just doesn't work as well as it should! I vote that we should make health care a human right and get rid of private health insurance companies for the good of the American people! All these companies ever do while privatized is rip people off and not help most under-ensured folks anyway!

No.


I'll assume you mean this:

"No, we should not
not
have government run health care."

The U.S. Health Care system has been raped/F**ked in the a** by businessmen and if the Government can do something to help I'm all for it. I mean can someone tell me why it costs me 3700 bucks for one trip to the ER? All they did was give me a tetanus shot(which i didn't actually need but its hospital procedure) and a bandage. I had to wait 4 hours and there was some chick sittin' right by me writhing in pain, looked like she had the plague, and she had to wait even longer than i did. I haven't been to the ER since i've just been sewing and bandaging myself up.

Wow that's pretty bad, especially considering it was a standard shot and a bandaid. I hope that bill is passed!
