Health care is a right

Sat., Nov. 7, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

We need a single-payer system. This is not a partisan issue, it is a human issue, and health care should be a right, not a privilege.

No corporate welfare. I say no mandatory private insurance. Extortionists should not be rewarded with pay.

An insurance pool should be a nonprofit entity. This greed and excess of the private insurance industry is bringing down our country.
