Re: OT: Physicians for a National Health Program

[Jim Rojas <jrojas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I see your point. But it doesnt have to be administered by our
goverment. It just needs to be run by someone other than large profit
making companies looking to deny your claim just because you may have
had a prexisting condition, or left something out on your original
application. Let's face it, everyone will get sick, and surely everyone
will die. Why do we have to lose everything for something we cannot
possibly avoid?

I agree that there is no easy or quick solution. But if we dont start
somewhere, things will only get worse. We are on an express ride to a
huge recession. When that happens, we all know will happen to all those
smaller businesses or self employed individuals that have private
insurance plans don't we? So instead of 46+ million without healthcare
coverage, you can count on that doubling right off the starting block.
