In its simplest form, what many progressives are advocating regarding HC insurance is a "single payer system" that would allow coverage by everyone paying additional taxes, rather than sending a premium check to private insurers who are in the business of making a hefty PROFIT.
far from implying that elected democrats/progressives are not easily corrupted on many other issues .......on this, they are right on target.
Yes, the single payer system on HC insurance would deny the private sector of capitalistic gains, BUT the need for a rich nation (such as ours) to relive citizens AND employers from the burden of constantly rising costs on an issue that literally means life or death, is too important to argue with empty rhetoric over "socialized medicine."
It is true that hospital conglomerates and big pharmaceutical companies would earn less money, but the need for assurances that health care will not bankrupt both individuals and our nation should outweigh the current corruption......Yes, the ACA may not be the answer and neither is any of the heartless systems that republicans have conjured to satisfy their wealthy donors.
It is time to unite in pushing for a cheaper, fairer and more effective health care system.
