   As you said, Kucinich is the only candidate who unashamedly supports a single-payer universal system. I can’t understand why the so-called progressive media just ignores him!

   If we all got behind him he would be supremely electable!

   Health care for everyone? Are you kidding? The insurance industry owns almost everything or is heavily invested there, so until this travesty of the marketplace is disassembled you and your sick can just “eat cake”. Agriculture, our food source is insured, our food service industry is insured, our chemical industry is insured, as well as our news media and our pharmaceutical manufacturers, so this is what happens: the farmers spray insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, on our food crops, the food service industry hydrogenates, monosodiumglutinates, fails to refrigerate and super sizes, our breakfast, lunch and supper, the drug peddlers rob the victims of this genocide with outlandishly overpriced and in many cases ineffective drugs later to be found outright frauds or even worse, killers.The media under report and blatantly lie to protect all of the above, because the insurance industry owns them or is highly influential in their operations. If anyone believes that Hillary or any other political maven except maybe Kucinich has the best interests of the American people or the rest of the world at heart, well — I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell them.

   Thanx for the great article. Many!! who attempt to identify (*name) the problem with the democratic beltway have faced terrific resentment & censorship

   Decades of positive Universal Healthcare experience in Europe and Canada proved that the system/s work not because the users are MANDATED to Purchase healthcare but because of the correct principle and efficient management.
   In some European countries Private and Universal Health Care systems work in parallel and people can CHOOSE which system works best for them. This is exactly what we need.

   Those who want to pay money for Healthcare can use the Private systmem. The rest should not be required to BUY healthcare - it should be provided with no pay.

   Our Business should not be required to pay for employees’ medical costs since it destroys the ability to compete in the global market.
   Citizens should not be forced to pay for what is considered an essential right in every civilized country.

   Hillary Clinton will lose big because of her health care plan which is, in fact, just another cosmetic change to our current system.

   We need to liberate our Business and citizens from the middle man - the Healthcare Insurance, Special Interests, and the lobby.
