With private health insurance...

...in the hands of corporations, "we the people" do not have any oversight.
We cannot vote out insurance executives, share holders, or CEO's.

With a government-based Single-Payer insurance system our coverage can be controlled at the ballot box.
Much more direct oversight.

If politicians fail us on health insurance, we vote them out.
It is already starting.

Just another thought I had.

Power to the people!

3. So agents like the Supreme Court and Diebold can steal the presidency
but they'll be kind enough to allow medicine to be responsive to the desires of the people?
