Single payer could create 2.6 million jobs & save America $317 billion. Healthcare in America is a cancer that's making a very small group richer than their wildest dreams and leaving the rest of us to deal with the fallout. But there is a solution.

1. Life & Death, our common companion

“Every human on this planet will get sick and eventually die, it’s the fact that none can escape, but that does not mean that we should be alone and without hope in this process. In the United States there are 50+ million people living without health insurance and currently I am one of those people. Even if I did have health insurance that would not be a guarantee it would protect me from whatever illness that may befall. Every day the health insurance industry writes the rules, which does not benefit the many, but rather the few. I find this greed and self interest aberrant and should be abolished.” - kdtroxel (It is a sin to gain profit from the suffrage of fellow citizens. All private insurance providers must be reorganized as non-profits or single payer health care system.)
