You framed this nicely. My hope is that this "single payer" voice of the american people gets much louder so that those in DC will do the right thing.

For sure, that is a good question. It seems to work in many places why can't we make it work

I support Conyers, HR-676. Please search "Nothing but the Single Payer" and "Forced to Gamble.

Americans might be joining the man in video soon if obamacare or whatever the crap name really is. 1. Because Americans will either be forced to legal or illegally leave America. 2. Americans could also be forced to be paid under the table. 3. Americans could also be forced to become homeless. 4. Americans will be forced to work so many jobs divorce rates go high and crime will go high so they can pay for Obama's health insurance. Now I hope Obama goes to hell.

@dave19941000 Here's a guy from the school that was the best in predicting our collapse in 2007, and hence the ones who understand the underlying problems which caused the financial meltdown. This economist was saying since 2002 that we would have our crash and this is his explanation for why the U.S is hurting...

This is him in 2006 predicting perfectly what would happen a year after this speech...:

@dave19941000 Ah, it's always amusing to hear the same fallacy from the economically illiterate. It's kind of cute in a way...

There's this thing in economics called a boom and bust cycle, it's been happening since the 19th century actually but only intensified here in the U.S since the creation of the Federal reserve.

If Bush had gotten shot in 2005 you would have looked at our economy and said he was a great president, that's because the boom looks like prosperity but actually isn't.

[dave19941000]

@Sam26100 Yes, you did have less deat 20 years ago, and if I'm not mistacen, 10 years ago you acualy hade a surplus, what happened? Oh, yea, Bush heppened.

[Sam26100]

@dave19941000 538 billion is still pretty significant. The U.S has more debt because we are even more fascistic

France is in a debt crisis right now! I don't know where you get the facts to say they have a low amount of debt.

remember our own national debt numbered in billions less than 20 years ago as well, you think your 583 billion is small-time compared to the U.S but how long before it baloons same as ours did? your only point is: "we're not sinking as fast"

but you still are.

@Sam26100 I'm not sure if you noticed, but Canada is, unlick the US and Europe, not up to our neck in deat. Canada, on both the Federal and provincial levels, is paying off it's deat and by this time next year we will be making a surplus again. When will the US be deat free? 10 years? 20? 30? And look at France, they have Universal health care, and they're #1 in quality, and they have a low amout of deat. And inflation? Canada's currency is worth 12% more now then in 2005, how is that inflation

[Sam26100]

@dave19941000 Intergenerational theft through deficit financing is the crime of the century really. Every country is guilty of it. You're stealing from the unborn who have no voices....

[Sam26100]

@dave19941000 You are a frog in boiling water my friend.

You think it's great and you assume that inflation is something that just happens by itself and is not in any way related to government spending or welfare programs.

All welfare and socialized programs are financially unsustainable. All you're doing is piling up debt for some later generation to have to work harder through but as long as you're okay with it...

Am I calling U.N socialist?? definetly. It's collectivist at the root

[dave19941000]

@Sam26100 I live in a verry small town (pop.1200) in the middle of nowere, and guess what, I have good health care, there is no lottory, there is good health care for everyone, and the only people who speek out against it are the people who would make more money under the american system, I have expirienced American and Canadian health care, and Canadian wins by far.

P.S. Are you calling the UN, an agency that has the most acuret information in the world, and has a pro-american bias, socialist?
