Health Care in America will not change until we CONTROL insurance companies, big pharm, and for profit hospitals.
Thus the priority is to manage these three industries to enable an affordable Single Payer Healthcare.
Congress and many Americans say the security of Americans comes first. That makes NO SENSE. Here is why putting security as a priority ahead of healthcare is wrong. If Congress approves a cruel healthcare law, one that limits access, is expensive, it is of no use to offer SECURITY / PROTECTION to people with cancer, crippled, chronically ill or have bad luck and get hurt, or people who die.
OBVIOUSLY SECURITY IS #2 and Healthcare (Single Payer) is more important, our true #1 priority.
So lower your expectations because NO ONE has the guts to control these businesses. The Federal Gov controls lots of businesses, but not these three big ones. Expect NO CHANGE FOR GOOD OF AMERICANs!
What is in the Senate Republican written health care bill? Will it be in final written form and released to read in time to read it BEFORE A VOTE IS CALLED?
Any reasonable cost-benefit analysis will tell you healthcare is a benefit worth the cost. If the formula is rigged, healthcare comes out as "too expensive" and THAT is BULL SHIT!
The "cost" Congress is talking about that prevents acceptance of the single payer approach is for drug companies, insurance companies, and for profit hospitals.
