If our health care makes us socialist, what about all of America's socialist programs:

Publicly funded, equally available to all citizens, police services.

Taxpayer funded, equal fire protection for all citizens regardless of income.

Taxpayer funded public education available to all citizens.

Not to mention: welfare support for the unemployable; compassionate welfare for the disabled; social security for the elderly, . . .

The government in America must be a horrible institution if American's prefer to entrust their health care to insurance companies instead of their elected representatives.

The right wing in America have gone over the edge. People who are normally level headed who try to buy the products they use in their daily life at the best price for the best product, readily throw away their money without question to the Insurance Co's.

For the year 2006 to 2007 one CEO of an ins. co. salary was over $300,000.00 a day. His salary was divided by 365 days to come up with that figure. This was just his salary it didn't include his stock options and all other benefits. Oh yah he got free health ins.

These same right wingers think that is OK, they scream don't touch my ins.

Are you sure they are above the Mafia in any way???

They refuse to cover what the customer pays for and the customer dies. Shouldn't that be classified as MURDER?
