The Progressive Revolution Is Being Led by a Black Woman

195. No, because the U.S. government isn't or at least shouldn't be in the business of making profit

off the illness and deaths of its' citizens.

Every dollar in profit that the private "health" insurance corporations makes takes away from actual health care and you can't deny this.

Frankly I don't care what you think of the word "Institutionalized" perhaps you could draft a petition and send it off to Webster's Dictionary to delete the word because uh...well the Republicans used it!

You have insinuated slurs against me in regards to the issue of abortion, I'm pro-choice but if you can find a single post out of my approximately 42,353 posts to the contrary, please present it.

I have tried to keep this to a civil discussion because I thought you were relatively intelligent.

And yes the Canadians are so "increasingly dissatisfied" with their health care system they're down in the basement with a piss poor approval rating of 86.2%

In a last-ditch effort to convince Canadians that their public health care system should be privatized, Canadian Medical Association (CMA) President Robert Ouellet has promised to “pull out all the stops” during the association’s annual meeting next week. Trouble is, Ouellet’s mission to lead the change to privatization is exactly the opposite of what 86 percent of Canadians want.

A new poll conducted by the Toronto-based Nanos Research points to overwhelming support — 86.2 percent — for strengthening public health care rather than expanding for-profit services.

“With more than 8 in 10 Canadians supporting public solutions to make public health care stronger, there is compelling evidence that Canadians across all demographics would prefer a public over a for-profit health care system,” said Nik Nanos, president of Nanos Research.

Nanos Research was commissioned by the Canadian Health Coalition (CHC), a nonpartisan group that supports Canada’s public health system, to conduct a random telephone survey of 1,001 Canadians between April 25 and May 3. The margin of accuracy for a sample of 1,001 is ±3.1 percentage points

And in regards to this,

"We went to the moon because the USSR had satellites, and that was a security threat. JFK sold the moon shot to the public as scientific aspiration, and not an arms race, in order for people to get behind it."

A nation's national security is intricately tied to the health of its' citizens.
