Reply #8: single-payer, universal health care coverage is the only acceptable [View All]

[Mr Generic Other]

answer to the problems associated with our current system of paying for health care.
there is no sane reason for us to subsidize (at high cost) insurance corporations which have demonstrated "bad faith" in the delivery of their product.
of course, some of those in the industry will need to seek new employment but they are not unskilled and could easily be employed if we required other corporations which feed at the national trough to discontinue outsourcing jobs.
besides resulting in a more healthy population a single-payer model would promote the idea of equality and probably lead to a renewed community spirit.
my message to the elected officials, whose phone lines i haunt, has been that since the public option was a compromise to attract support from those who would not bargain in good faith, and they have rejected even the compromise, then the single-payer model should be rammed through.
while i think its a great idea it has not been received well by my senators or my congressman.
humm?
