Single Payer Health Care is in Our Future

OPS: Let’s hope so

Single Payer Health Care is in Our Future by Gene Messick

For the first time ever, large numbers of Americans of all political stripes and avocations are rallying around the idea of Single Payer Health Care for everyone who needs it and wants it. Bills are introduced in both Houses of Congress, and everyone’s taking note — especially doctors and health care professionals who actually favor, more and more, this revolutionary idea.

Or is it?  No one asked to be born. Why shouldn’t our government, elected to serve the people, not profit-making Corporations, do it’s job protecting the health of our citizens, after our “experiment” with leaving health care up to Big Medicine and Big Pharma has failed so miserably?

Here’s what Physicians for A National Health Program (PNHP) sent out in a Newsletter on March 26th, under this slogan:  “Health care is a human right!” Contacts for this group are at the end, or Mark Almberg, (312) 782-6006, mark@pnhp.org

So many of us have waited for decades for this entirely rational human concept to come to America. Now’s the time to get behind this bandwagon, and push as if your life depended upon it.

      The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
     

    Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."
     
    What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.
