Americans are dying for a national health system
The idea of a single payer national health system for all Americans is not even part of the agenda being considered in Washington DC.
Real Democrats and progressives should adopt the position that nothing would be acceptable that is less than universal health care for all.
Why should Americans continue to bear the cost of a health insurance industry that has made access to care so difficult in order to secure greater profits?
This is a time for change but if we make small modifications then we are wasting the historic opportunity that has eluded Democrats since the emergence of the military-industrial complex President Eisenhower warned about. In fact before Ike was elected, Harry Truman advocated a national health policy and his effort was blunted by a "Do-Nothing Republican Congress!"
This is worth fighting for because insurance company profits are not worth dying for.
