Vital Signs: A public health plan? 30% of us already have one - MarketWatch
Comment from "CAREFORPEOPLE":
WHY?
Why can't we ALL have the guaranteed health care that seniors have? Why do we have to wait until age 65 to get health care that is publicly financed and privately delivered? Why should insurance companies get to fleece us when we are young and healthy, then dump us on the taxpayer when we are older and less healthy? Why are we even discussing the continuation this obscene practice?!
Watch and listen to a former insurance exec's epiphany:

Coverage does NOT equal care. We need to get the health insurance cartel out of the health care equation. Continued toleration of the 30% administrative waste caused by having 1,200+ insurance companies is an economic suicide pact. Insurance is for accidents. Health care is no accident! Support health care for people, not for profit, by supporting H.R.676, single-payer, universal health care. The Congressional Budget Office projects that single-payer would reduce overall health costs by more than $225 billion despite the expansion of comprehensive care to all Americans. No other plan projects this kind of savings:

Single-payer Medicare for all is the ONLY real healthcare reform.
Everything else is just putting lipstick on a pig.
