Ok now that I have my photos on

I just want to say that can we please enter the 21st century already and get a health care plan passed by congress?

Can you please make it a single payer plan, based on the one in Australia?

I have written about this continually and don't understand why no one listens to me.

Of course it may be that I don't have enough readers yet--but just in case somebody new reads this--here's how it works -- basically!

Everybody has free basic health care, and there are also insurance companies if you want to use them. They are good if you want a private room in a hospital or you want have multiple boob jobs for purely cosmetic reasons, and so on and so forth.

Admittedly I haven't lived there for 19 years, but both my kids are there now and they've never complained about the cost of anything medical, and although there my be other reasons for private health insurance, there are many free services available.

I have heard consistently over the years how this could never work here--because there are so many more of us here, but if you divide us into the states and give each the same templet and federal support to kick it off, I don't see any good reason for it to fail.

All those folks who are against it don't need to use the system as they can keep to their own paying systems.

I may be over simplifying--but I thinks this will work better than anything else, because it would encourage small (minute) business owners like me -- to grow and employ people, which could never happen if I have to cough up health coverage.
