Single-Payer Nat'l Healthcare

Even many doctors are advocating that the only system that will be comprehensive in addressing the horrible situation that we have with uninsured or poorly insured American's is a single-payer national healthcare program. This would be similar to Medicare except it would cover everybody. I think it is the only way to go in providing all people in the US with good health care and the ability to cut through the insurance nightmare currently faced by this country.

George W Bush and all those others who advocated privatizing Medicare and Social Security are lying when they don't acknowledge that they are giving more kickbacks to the insurance companies by the fees and coverage costs they'd charge insurers that otherwise would be covered by Medicare. That is how banks make all their money, on fees, and that is how insurance companies make all their money as well.
