The sad thing is that this shouldn't be a politicized issue - making sure EVERYONE has access to affordable health care should be a priority. No one is talking about going to a much more efficient single payer (govmt sponsored) health plan - weigh in at any time Canadian and UK filmspotters - but it is time that we, at least, take our health care out of the hand of insurance companies who pay doctors for disease management and put the decisions back into our hands and let doctors get back to preventative medicine.
Affordable health care should be right not a luxury.
A lot of those people worrying about the label: socialized medicine are on medicare and medicaid and they don't even see their own hypocrisy...
