My definition of healthcare reform...
When we are done, if a vagrant can walk into a clinic without a dime to his name and still get treated for an ear ache including getting his prescriptions filled, then I will consider it a success.

1. Prepare to be disappointed.
Americans will never yield their God-given right to shit on those they perceive to be beneath them.

After all, isn't personal success defined by being better than *somebody* and having the ability to lord power over them?

That pretty much sums up Pat Buchanan's beliefs.

2. Since corporations have personhood-
execute any insurance company that caused the death of any person by denying them medical treatment. This would also apply to hospitals, etc. Then single payer.

6. Now that is something I totally support. It is necessary to make those at the top
suffer consequences for their actions.

That has not happened for a long time in reich-wing Amerika.
