We need to agree first that health care is a right for everyone then work as a country to make sure that it is managed as efficiently as possible.

How many Italians are insured?

Only aro 93% of the Germans are.

We need to agree first that health care is a right for everyone then work as a country to make sure that it is managed as efficiently as possible. The problem now is that the dems and reps don't even agree on this point.

First, it is not a right. It is a good I purchase, and I spend a lot of hours (days) per year working in order to be able to purchase it.

If you are starting with such a contentious proposition, it is no wonder the process grinds to a halt.

I think it is not only possible, it is likely. We don't need to speculate...we have examples around the world and here at home.


There is no evidence Medicare can administer health care financing as efficiently and effectively as private insurance companies.

Anyone who bothered to get past the partisan lies knows this. The cost of administering Medicare is ALWAYS higher than private insurance.
