My mortgage is around $13,000 a year.
My health insurance is around $28,000 a year.
And you think we should keep what we have because it is so great.
We're rank 13th in health care world wide and pay twice as much as the next most expensive country.
There really isn't any more, "suck" possible vs what we have now.
A single payer system would unleash American creativity more than any other change we could make in our country. If everyone was covered by health care, half the population would quit their jobs the next day and start their own businesses. The other half would immediately demand a 50% increase in pay or walk.
