The
U.S.
healthcare
system is an
international
scandal. It's
roughly twice
the per capita
costs of
comparable
countries, and
some of the
worst
outcomes,
mainly because
it's
privatized,
extremely
inefficient,
bureaucratized,
lots of bill
paying, lots
of officials,
tons of money
wasted,
healthcare in
the hands of
profit-seeking
institutions,
which are not
health
institutions,
of course. And
for decades
people have
preferred what
every other
country has,
in some
fashion:
either
straight
national
healthcare or
heavily
government-regulated
healthcare
like, say,
Switzerland.
Sometimes the
support is
astonishingly
high. So, in
the late
Reagan years,
for example,
about 70
percent of the
population
thought that
guaranteed
healthcare
should be a
constitutional
guarantee. .
And about 40
percent
thought it
already was in
the
Constitution.
The
Constitution
is just this
holy
collection of
anything
reasonable, so
it must be
there.
Time
To
Implement
The Single
Payer
Plan(Medicare
For All) and
Full Support
For
"Alternative/Complementary
Medicine
Here
is a simple
way to help
Fund The
Single Payer
Plan(Medicare
For All)...
A
Financial
Transaction
Tax of 0.5%
(one half of
one percent)
on Wall Street
trading could
generate
billions in
revenue to
help our
ailing
economy,
stimulate job
growth,
re-fund
essential
services, and
discourage the
reckless,
high-volume/short-term
profit
computer-driven
Wall Street
gambling that
lead to our
current
economic
crisis. It
could raise
more than $350
billion
annually,
enough to
close the
funding gaps
in every US
state now
facing deep
cuts, with
billions left
to invest in
job creation
each year...
"The
Strength Of
Our Nation Is
Directly
Proportional
To The Health
Of Our People"
Conversely
The Health Of
Our People Is
Directly
Proportional
To The Health
Of The
Soil..healthy
soil creates
healthy
plants,
healthy plants
create healthy
people...
As we
become
increasingly
health
conscious and
aware that
Health is a function
of lifestyle
(choices),
and
as the
business of
America
becomes the
business of
health for our
people, we
shall become a
peaceful
nation of
strong, vital,
socially
conscious and
creative
individuals...
Through
wholistic
healthcare
practices,
eco-agriculture,
the labeling
of genetically
engineered
foods and the
implementation
of a
comprehensive
wholistic single-
payer health
insurance
program for
all, we will
manifest our
inherent
birthright: Freedom
From Dis-ease!
