Sooner or later another few million would do the same. Suddenly all of america would realize the medical insurance business has been doing nothing but making tons and tons of profit by way of fear mongering.

At that point all would see that america could have insurance at a much much lower rate such as 225 a month for the best coverage in the world that includes the entire family.

Makes dollars and sense to me. More money to invest smart instead of supporting high rollin executives and shareholders.

Maybe get on with that home improvement with cash instead of borrowing from the bank…..just maybe.

Maybe go to Jamaica for a few weeks instead of supporting high rollin executives and shareholders.

Most consumers are under-insured = candidate for bankruptcy. Most coverage WILL NOT stick with consumers when the going gets tough = fraud.

What could be done with that high profit middle man money that which DOES NOT provide health care?

1. Home Improvements = jobs

2. Invest in a green annuity

3. Create a college investment account for children

4. Purchase a fuel efficient auto = money saved and secures jobs in the automotive industry

5. Buy gifts for a lover which improves ones quality of life and boosts a local economy

7. Buy a second home in the Rocky Mountains = helps reduce number of homes for sale

8. Keep an existing vehicle in top running condition = dollars saved and clean air

9. Landscape a yard to reduce mowing substantially and requires far less water = conservation of natural resources and more money in the wallet

10.Donate to a local zoo or library.

*11. PAY OFF CREDIT CARDS AND USE SAVINGS CASH FOR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

12. Set up a health care investment account or annuity that makes YOU money
instead of wealthy CEO’s. Your health care annuity will NOT cancel out on when the poop hits fan.

13. National Health Insurance is far better for America than the public option.

We pool the risk for things we don’t use all the time but are vital to all of us when we do need it. Fire department, police, roads, libraries etc. It drives the cost down, when pooling the risk; every insurance company knows this. The health insurance industry even admits this but they want the risk pooled under their over priced low quantity/quality policies.

Someday we might need intensive care for a serious accident or illness and it will be there.
That’s what insurance is supposed to be.
It will be there for the regular check ups too, to catch a blood pressure problem or some other problem early.

My understanding is there’s a history about why Germany has these non profit “sickness funds” involved.

I think we as a country can address and correct any glitches that, say, Canada might have. None the less, the fact is Canada does so much more with so much less. Any problems they have are exaggerated (or outright lies) and taken way out of context to the efficiencies of single payer. In fact Canada is addressing these problems due to public pressure. England too.

This is not as heavy a lift as the naysayers would have us believe.
Just phase in Medicare (a very accepted and American thing) as embodied in HR 676.

Of course, there will be some modifications and tweeks as we go along but that’s to be expected.

Why anyone would want their health care linked to their employment is beyond me.
We will be more happier and much more securer as a nation when we get these middleman health insurance industry leeches off of us.

A Documentary “Sick around the World” aired in the recent past.
It describes different health care systems world wide. It was fairly helpfull and informative.
Here’s the link:

I think the documentary can be streamed from this sight.

Eat healthy, get the veggies and fruit (organic if possible) into the diet. But let’s pool the risk across the entire American population and break the employment/health care link.

Marilyn Clement lives on!

We must demand that Congress answer to the people who elected them, or VOTE THEM OUT!

SINGLE-PAYER HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!

Using Medicare is brilliant as it saves big bucks over reinventing the wheel.
