How we are abused by private health insurance!
trickymaster, 00:39h
We are part of an experiment that makes me sick! How is it possible that premiums just 10 years ago were at levels equal to those in European single payer health care systems, but today, they are skyrocketing? The answer: Private insurers abuse their important role as health care providers to earn money. We are part of an experiment of how far they can raise the premiums.

The ONLY way out is completely government-run health care.NO to a two-tier health care system. I used to live in Germany and the two-tier system has created a two-class system. People covered under government-run health care have to wait twice as long than people under private insurance because the private money provides additional money for doctors so that they prefer private insurance over public health care. It can't be possible that a person under public health care has to wait more than another person.

Health care is a Right!
We don't have a fully privatized prison system, we don't have a fully privatized military, we don't have a fully privatized school system, so WHY the hell do we have to suffer under a FULLY privatized health care system? In addition to that private schools, prisons, and paramilitary have failed and largely depend on government assistance.

This has nothing to do with pursuit of happiness.
"When Jefferson spoke of pursuing happiness, he had nothing vague or private in mind. He meant a public happiness which is measurable; which is, indeed, the test and justification of any government."
The Human Development Index (short HDI) shows that the highest ranking nations are indeed social welfare states with a government-run universal health care system.
