The people who brought us our broken social security system and Medicare now want to bring us health care.
First there is no problem with social security or medicare.Don't believe all the right wing hype. All it needs is a small increase in your withholding foe SSI. Have you ever looked at how little they hold out for this?
Second,in this day and age if we all live long enough no matter what you think is health food we will get cancer.There is no such thing as health food unless you can afford to eat 100% organic food.The ranchers,farmers and processors have been killing us for decades. They are still using low level radioactive wastes to grow crops!! It makes them grow so big and look so pretty.lol And HMO's are so expensive.$500 a month per person,family of 4 $2000. I don't know of many average households than can afford this.Just cut out the middle man in health care and there will plenty of money for healthcare for all of us.
