Medicare for all
The American people need and deserve Medicare for all. A single-payer system is the most cost-efficient and fairest of all the proposals. It will be the best competition for the profit-driven private insurance corporations. If they do not adapt, they deserve to fail for the injustices they have perpetrated on millions.
Access to quality health care is more of a basic right than the postal service or road construction or many of the other “government-run” programs. Why are the ultraconservatives not screaming socialism for these programs? It is past time to prioritize universal, affordable health care for all! It ranks even higher than public education, police and fire protection and the national defense as worthy of government funding. A citizen cannot enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness without good health care.
