We adapted John Green's original post as a Thought Bubble motion graphic to see how it would compliment his discussion on the health care debate. A week and a half after his post, we present you with John Green's Thought Bubble.

Smart Bubble Society is a non-profit motion graphic studio that promotes social justice, self-education and critical awareness through motion graphic shorts, otherwise known as 'Thought Bubbles.' What's in your thought bubble?

My goodness. John Green explains this better than my Human Geography teacher.

@Narglesonamistletoe save SOOO much money. Pennies cost 2 cents to make. And nickels cost 7 cents. If you eliminated the penny and the nickel, people wouldn't have to pay money to make something so incredibly useless, and then could afford to pay health care taxes which would give everyone a good treatment. Americans pay billions of dollars to make something that not many places would accept. Once I tried to buy a magazine with pennies. The seller only said: "Get some real money".

Look at swedens health care system. Its free, its for everybody and it is very very good. I guess thats because we feel that it is absurd to even consider health care a privilege; the fact that its a right goes deep down in our society. And sweden has, compared to other European countries, gone throught the economy crisis with ease. Socialism does work; we are an extreme good example. Sweden is much smaller than USA, but it is far from impossible to start with small changes in some states.

Today Youtube has a "talk to the President" sort of commenting going on today on the main page and I was very happy to see this used as a reference to a comment. :D

@JakeV5 It doesn't matter if prices have to be rounded up, though, because for all the products that cost the extra change, the businesses of consumers will experience the same benefit, thus being able to pay their employees the money to compensate for products that cost more.

@Narglesonamistletoe You need to have a way to break down a dollar, if we didn't, then we'd just boost everything up so that dollars can take the place of pennies and that would be the same situation. The only way to eliminate change and still be able to break down a dollar, since we HAVE to have a minimum, is to establish credit so change can exist solely on a card, which would need an entirely new department to manage. There are no magic quick fixes. It all takes work and costs a ton.
