More on the sole sensible answer to fixing the broken healthcare situation in the nation - here, here, and these Google News items. Or just Google = "Medicare for all".
The first one of those above linked other items is authored by one who, if elected, would have saved the nation the disgrace of a Presidential criminal negotiating a pre-abdication pardon, and flying out of DC in utter shame and with the loathing of a multitude of Americans; the author stating words we should all consider:
As far back as President Harry S. Truman, they have urged Congress to act on this national need. In a presentation before a joint session of Congress last week, Obama offered his view of the best way forward.
But what seems missing in the current battle is a single proposal that everyone can understand and that does not lend itself to demagoguery. If we want comprehensive health care for all our citizens, we can achieve it with a single sentence: Congress hereby extends Medicare to all Americans.
Don't we want "comprehensive health care for all our citizens"?
I believe that's a worthy goal.
No heavy lifting or speechifying required; KISS; keep it simple, stupid.There is no need for multiple suggested texts each over a thousand pages long, when the unvarnished TRUTH is that after all the bloviating is over, one simple "single sentence" is all that's needed:
Congress hereby extends Medicare to all Americans.
