THE NOTION THAT THE US ECONOMY CAN BE "CURED" WITHOUT PROVIDING THE KIND OF UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE THAT MOST OTHER NATIONS HAVE PROVIDED FOR DECADES...IS WRONG.
AND APPEARS THAT OBAMA IS GOING TO START ATTACKING THESE "SYSTEMIC" PROBLEMS ...AND AVOID OBSESSING ABOUT THE MERE SYMPTOMS OF THE OLD FAILED ECONOMY.
WITHOUT TOTAL UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE NOW....AMERICAN CORPORATIONS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE GLOBALLY...
AND THE CURRENT PATCH WORK SYSTEM OF MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND SO CALLED PRIVATE INSURANCE WILL CONTINUE TO BLEED THE US ECONOMY OF ANY VITALITY THAT IT HAS LEFT... NOW TOTALING ABOUT 15% OF GDP...
WHICH IS TRIPLE ANY OTHER NATIONS EXPENDITURE... AND EVEN THAT LEAVES 50 MILLION PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE SYSTEM...
MOST OF THESE "HEALTH CARE OUTSIDERS" ARE IN THE LOWER MIDDLE CLASE...WHO HAVE NOT YET BEEN TOTALLY BANKRUPTED BY THE AMERICAN SYSTEM...
THE FACT THAT OBAMA IS NOW MENTIONING HEALTH CARE IN EVERY OTHER SENTENCE...IS ENCOURAGING... BECAUSE DURING THE CAMPAIGN HE AVOIDED THE SUBJECT COMPLETELY...
UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE WILL BE A BOON TO THE PUBLIC, CORPORATIONS AND THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT...AS IT WILL CONSOLIDATE THE CURRENT FAILED PATCH WORK INTO ONE SYSTEM THAT CAN BE ADMINISTERED WITHOUT THE CURRENT LOOTING BY BIG PHARMA...BIG INSURANCE...AND THE WALL STREET LOBBY.
