Single Payer, Universal Health Care. Everyone above a predetermined income level, pays a percentage of there income for health care. Similar to Social Security or Medicare. Age, gender, sexual orientation, race and and any other differences, would not matter. Only income level. The well-to-do would pay more. The not so-well-to-do would pay less, or noting at all. Those below a certain income level would pay nothing. All would have access to the same health care. It is our Right.

We need to work to get rid of the "Your Money, or Your Life" middleman, health insurance companies.

We are all human. We should all have equal Rights, which means among other things, access to proper health care. Especially life saving health care.
