We have a socialized infrastructure, socialized law enforcement, socialized fire departments, and socialized military, just to name a few. Why are some of you so scared?

The military produces no wealth, it absorbs wealth to protect the nation. The health care industry produces no wealth, yet we redistribute wealth to the industry's CEOs with out the ability to protect the health of all Americans.

Fear mongers warn of having a government bureaucrat between you and your doctor, but they seem not to mind having a for-profit insurance bureaucrat between you and your doctor.

If our health care system is so good, why isn't the rest of the world trying to copy it? Why are we the only industrialized nation without a national healthcare system? And why don't people think Americans are smart enough to figure out how to make it work like every other country has?

I've had socialized healthcare for nearly 30 years, and my wife has been under the same type of healthcare for her entire 51 years. We pay less annually than most families pay monthly for their private insurance--those than can afford it, that is.

I really don't get why people don't want to see every one of their fellow citizens have access to affordable healthcare. Just seems like the morally right thing to do.
