Most of you know that one of my passions is health care in this country; to be more precise, the lack of access to health care for everyone. And to me that does not equate to access to health insurance provided by for-profit insurance companies. Their concern is their financial bottom line, not the medical needs of their clients.
So I want to know your views on where we are and where we need to go with health care. I know we have some Republicans among us, some leaning that way, and I have been a liberal Democrat all my life. But health care to me should not be a political football but a matter of what's good for the citizens of our country. Should we try to move toward a single payer, Medicare for all, type of system? Should we have private insurance for everyone, vouchers for government paid health care for people to buy private insurance, which is what the Republicans in Congress want to do?
Here is the link for health care in Wikipedia. It's rather long, complicated, but worth reading to get a handle on this subject. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_the_United_States
When you have the time let's get some input. I know two of us have government insurance now Medicare and Tricare, and I think everybody else has private health insurance.
