Unbelievable. You people need another American revolution. King George is not living in England anymore, he's in Washington...and I am not just talking about George W. Bush when I say that. I'm talking about your entire corporate-controlled Chief Executive AND Congress...all your bought politicians. When it comes to national health coverage you are living in the Dark Ages.

As I've said before on this forum, my Father died of liver failure, and he had to have extensive medical assistance and hospitalization over a period of a couple of a few years to deal with that. It cost us virtually nothing, being covered by Canada's national health program. In the USA it would have utterly bankrupted the whole family, and then some. And for what? It's ridiculous. Do I mind that part of my taxes go to support a national universal coverage health system? No, I sure as hell do not mind it. Not one bit. Do I think it's "Communism"? No, I think that Communism is a one-party dictatorial system backed up by a million heavily armed soldiers and secret police who will lock you up and possibly shoot you if you question the system. Do I think it's socialism? YEAH!!! And I think that we could use a bit more of that instead of doing everything just so that a few rich bastards and big marketing outfits can get even richer off ordinary people's misfortunes.
