37. I read the part where you said you had moral problems with single payer. A very silly position.

Putting profits of drug companies, health insurance companies and owners of medical practices with multiple MDs before the health and well being of those in the USA is immoral. There are people being denied health services and dying to keep the profit margin where it "should" be. That's immoral.

The sin of Medicare is that with a 4% overhead it provides an unwanted good example for capitalist rationing of health services.

Your position fails the laugh test. How can you say it with a straight face? Single payer immoral? Go tell it to the VA.
