If the law requiring you to buy private corporation health insurance is constitutional then

[newspeak]

37. yes, a drivers license is considered a "privilege"

and there are many people today who cannot afford to drive because of insurance and fuel costs. In many civilized industrial nations, one's health is considered a "right."

We either are a nation that takes care of our own or we buy (like we've been sold for years) that we are rugged wild west individuals and we don't need no stinkin help. With the help of a very complicit media, the owners have sold us social darwinism, ayn randian ideas. These ideas to me, have hurt american families, workers and communities. And like a pack of jackals, they attack the weakest in our nation.

I'm with bernie sanders, with single payer, even businesses have a great deal not worrying about benefit packages. However, the business sociopaths even are cutting benefits and pensions.

I am concerned that for profit corporations have too much power in this country. and the more we privatize, the less power the american people have.

Hubby and I have insurance, the only insurance we can afford since he's lost his good paying job. It has deductibles, it has ceilings. If either one of us actually had a catastrophic illness, the insurance wouldn't even cover it all. My FIL was in the hospital and the bill was over 200,000 dollars. At least they had medicare and secondary insurance which cost them about seven hundred a month. They are on SS and a small pension.

If I was younger, I would honestly think about moving to a country that actually cares about its' people. Because, in today's climate, thanks to ronnie, it seems that the focus is on greed, screwing people, and how much obscene profits a corporation can make on the backs of their workers.
