Public should demand universal health care
Jul. 7, 2008 12:00 AM

The public should demand universal health care like Congress and the citizens of Canada, Britain, France and other foreign countries enjoy.

The American public is saddled with huge costs and poor care for the majority while the privileged few are the only ones able to afford and benefit from the system.

This system ties workers to their jobs, as it makes them fearful to rock the boat, lest they lose them. Millions have no health insurance, and those that do are often deprived of care by technicalities the insurance companies find to avoid paying.

It's time the public revolted and demanded our right to adequate health care for all.

No more propaganda that our health care is the best in the world. It's unavailable or too expensive for the majority and only available to the privileged few.

The money squandered by this government would have paid for health care for all, homes for the homeless, repair of our roads and bridges, and created jobs here at home.

If the coming election doesn't result in change as the voters demand, let the revolution proceed where we become embroiled in war with Iran and suffer more damage.

- W. J. Hansen, Mayer

Wait a minute. W.J. Hansen is NOT the mayor or mayer or anything like that. W.J. Hansen is someone who wrote into a blog at the Arizona Republic newspaper. This person lives in Mayer, Arizona but, as far as I can tell, isn't the mayor of anything.

I strongly agree with what was written. But, as presented, it seemed to be from the Mayor of a community and that is not the case.

If you seriously want universal health care please go to www.healthcare-now.org. This website has a wealth of information about a single payer health care bill that has been introduced in the house of Representatives. Please join us in supporting this legislation and educating our fellow citizens about it.

I think if the President and all Congress and Senate had to buy there own insurance and cut thier wages to make them more equal to the rest of us . They would then see and understand how bad it is . They think things are fine so why do they need to fix them if they are getting what they want . I say take it from them save us tons of money . Then I bet they find a way to correct it and fast .

McCain will give a darn about our healthcare when the conservative base does, not before. But they are busy right now; pretending their poor healthcare is because of mexican immigration.
