Health Care For All

by Harvey

This country is beginning a new day in politics, or is it simply changing one group of do nothings for another?  There is a crying need in our country for health care for all our citizens, young, old, white, black, red, brown, green.  The United States rates 38th among the industrialized countries in the world for the quality of access to health care.  That means boys and girls that more 37 other countries have better health care, longer life expectance, fewer childbirth deaths, and simply decency regarding care for us when we get sick.

The United States spends more than $5,200 dollars per person for health care.  France spends less than half of that amount for their people with better outcomes for their patients.  We have a much lower percentage of people who are happy with their health care, we have over 42 million people who have NO health care.  That folks is a crying shame. We are supposed to be the greatest country on Earth and we can not meet the plans of the lowest group of the industrialized countries.

We need to begin a dialogue in this country with our politicians and business people at all levels, local, state, and federal about universal health care.  And I am not talking about the abominations proposed by the political suck ups so far.  Everything I have seen proposed, from the Office of the President to the presidential candidates proposed is nothing more than another payback for the insurance and pharmaceutical industries.
