What's it going to take for this country to join the rest of the civilized world and offer health care as a right of citizenship, not a privilege of wealth?

How much longer are we going to abide the CONservative enemies from within killing our fellow Americans through greed, hatred and the obsession to deny Barack Obama a "legacy?" HOW MUCH LONGER ARE WE GOING TO TAKE IT?
