I believe that we should have universal health care for EVERYONE.
My Mom has two insurances, (Medicare, and Bluecross from my Dad's Railroad retirement benefits) and still has to pay some on her medicals bills. That is just not right.
We can have universal healthcare and all we have to do is raise taxes on people making over $250,000 a year. They are not paying their fair share of of taxes anyway.
England does it, France does it, Canada does, it, no exuses. We can do it.
To hear people like Rush Limbaugh say that healthcare is a privilege and not a right makes me want to puke.
Did anyone watch sicko by the way?
Here is one of the things from the movie.

I mean seriously WTF?
Can you imagine being in that situation and being told you must choose which finger you want re-attached. Bull shit.
We must have Universal Healthcare.
