HEALTH CARE -- DIVIDE AND CONQUER

Too many of us want the health care system fixed. Your telephone calls to your congress persons is having an effect!

So the new strategy, from the people who do NOT care if over 45 million persons in the US do NOT have health insurance, is to divide and conquer. If they can make the health care advocates argue about what is the best way to get universal health care, they can win.

WE ARE THE ONLY HIGH INCOME INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHICH DOES NOT HAVE some version of national universal public health insurance. Germany, Britain, Greece, Canada, Taiwan, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, all have universal health care. Their citizens are in better health, live longer, and have a lower infant mortality than our citizens. See single payer health care in Wikipedia for a good explanation of it all.

IT IS TIME THAT THIS GETS DONE. I am tired of watching people die because they did not have health insurance.
