The problem with America’s current capitalistic health care is that a few people cannot afford the insurance premiums for coverage, right?

Who is getting filthy rich? Hospitals? Nope - they are closing down. Nurses? No.

The insurance companies! and Drug companies!

Why does the current administration want to reward these evil greedy capitalist bastards with essentially government contracts?

Actually, the administration wanted a public option to compete with insurance companies to drive costs down, but you know how that turned out. The public option was renamed “socialized, government run health care” by the right.

I don’t get it.
