How is Single Payer different from NHS? No thank you, we will follow the US Constitution, and he isn't even half as bad as Bush, who needs arrest & prosecution.

[joneselius]

I can see why.

You don't want to end up with something like the NHS!!!

There's one way I can see sorting out the country. Instead of protesting peacefully, why not use the constitution and forcefully remove Obama? The one who is somehow passing all these bills. He really is a scourge.

joneselius I agree on most issues , protest makes a dent or does nothing, but Americans are sick & tired of being sick & tired. The current private insurance system is emptying our pockets & actually keeping us from getting health care to make corporate profits! The insurance costs get higher every year & our networks of doctors gets lower, so we are livid. Yanks are highly motivated to keep protesting until we get what we need , and Single Payer is turning into Civil Rights Movement.

[joneselius]

That's not what I meant.

I know what government does to healthcare. I'm British.

I'm saying protesting is PROVEN to do NOTHING. Look at the G-20 if you don't believe me, we protested in our THOUSANDS and it did what? NOTHING!

[Yankhadenough]

joneselius Healthcare transcends all party, gender, social, political, religious, ethnic, racial lines. All of us are human beings and all of us have a right to healthcare. Single Payer can and will be a greater movement than Civil Rights. Healthcare is a human right. As soon as you realize this is the sooner you will hop on board , the momentum is picking up speed...c'mon !

Protesting does NOTHING.

It's great to see people unite under a single cause. But seriously protesting does NOTHING. Democracy is, and always will be and ILLUSION of free choice. Jesus, how many times do people need to be told? You're given an ice cream in 45 different flavors but you're only given 2 political parties. COME ON!

This is NOT freedom, nowhere in the WORLD is free anymore as, don't forget, this is a global order. CALLED DEMOCRACY!
