America needs single-payer health care

Politicians are almost there kicking millions of Americans back to the curb. Instead of cutting the huge cost of health care by setting limits for drug makers and hospitals and eliminating the insurance companies, it’s back to the emergency room and death to the ones that cannot pay for their expensive treatments.

Don’t believe the lies that a single-payer system does not work. It works just fine in many countries, including Canada. The difference is that these governments make it a priority and actually care about the health of their people.

Here, anything that cuts into profits is anti-business and Republican policy makers can’t have that. Even if it is the last dollar they take from people’s pocket, they sleep just fine at night.
