13. Well reasoned argument for universal health care!

Thanks for taking the time to explain this from a capitalist standpoint.

Unfortunately, the insurance companies, which have us at their mercy, are also capitalists and will do whatever it takes to keep us under their thumb. Obamacare is a good first step with the insurance exchanges. The State of Vermont will show us the way for each of the states to adopt single payer. We the People need to educate each other regarding the value to this country of a single payer system.

We also need to stop being afraid of the word "socialism" and become truly afraid of the word "fascism" and the moneyed interests that are pushing the idea onto United States citizens. The un-twining of the rope around our collective necks has started; now we need to keep moving forward and pick up speed to get our country back in the hands of the people.
