America does not deserve health care. The Congress is proving that. What the nation deserves is what the Republicans -- with Democratic support -- have provided.
THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE
Most of the industrialized world has universal single payer health care. On average, that health care costs half of what Americans pay. The difference is found in paying people to deny care to those who pay for health insurance. The difference comes from the need foe extensive end-of-life catastrophic health care -- which would be avoided if timely primary care were not denied.
Of course, Americans do not live as long as those in the rest of the industrialized world -- the idea behind denial of basic care is to ensure that people die before they can collect of their insurance.
Curious fact. If we cut costs by emulating the rest of the civilized humanitarian world, we could pay for care for twice as many people -- and not spend a cent more than we now spend. In fact, we would actually save money over our current costs.
However,
THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE
mandates that our leaders line their own pockets and provide themselves with care while denying us equivalent care.
Americans deserve what they get -- because people get what they deserve.
