What d’ya mean healthcare doesn’t work, what’s wrong with it?

As you read this, someone is dying for the worst of all reasons, they do not have health insurance! If it takes you 13 minutes to read this, someone has already died because every 12 minutes a human being dies in the United States because they do not have health care. The insurance companies are spending millions of
dollars betting the average American citizen does not care. So they pay people (who have insurance) to disrupt meetings. They pay conservative Republican politicians to do everything in their power to cause a fair health insurance plan fail because they are afraid of losing the profits they take in. Do the math. At a rate of a person every 12 minutes almost 45,000 will die. That is more people than drunken driving accidents and homicides combined! Add to that, people under 64 years of age have a 40% higher risk of death than those with coverage. Is this America? We are talking a staggering 46 million people
without health insurance.

One would think that the above news is bad enough. But it actually gets worse. I believe the healthcare insurance industry is a malevolent monopoly. An insurance spokesman recently stated that other industries have higher profits than insurance companies. Not surprisingly, he did not address the fact that insurance policies and base rates are almost the same across the country. In other words, there is little or no competition among them. Some insurance companies even insure nearly 90% of the residents of certain states. Sherman called that a monopoly.
