It's an international embarrassment that the U.S. does not guarantee healthcare as a right.

"I want to end the international embarrassment of the United States being the only country in the industrialized world that does not guarantee health care as a right and not a privilege.”

1. Vermont tried. Found out to expensive

I like Hilary's answer of improving ACA. That is reasonable.

[-none]

3. Most every other country can do it, has universal health care, why can't we?

The health insurance companies are the basic problem with health care in this country.

5. We can do it! We just need a President and a PROGRESSIVE Congress and it will happen.

Bernie has coattails. He help pick up seats in the Senate, maybe a few in the House and then that's when the political REVOLUTION comes into play. WE THE PEOPLE will make them do what WE WANT, not what Corporations, Insurance companies and BIG PHARMA want.

4. Vermont is doing quite well thanks. Visit once in a while. It's beautiful.

7. it's too expensive because we don't control costs well enough; prescription drugs cost far more than

they do in other countries. There are other examples of costs that are much higher in the US than in Canada, UK, Japan, Germany, France, etc. When we are ready to address that seriously, universal health care, and better health care for those currently covered as well, will be very feasible.

2. I totally agree.

Healthcare is a right. PERIOD AND END OF DISCUSSION.

We need to get this done.
