Don't confuse health care with health insurance. EVERYONE has access to health care. ER in California have closed under the financial burden. Washington state under Debra Senn, did a great job of making health insurance more expensive and less available. They have been working towards single payer for decades. Control health care and you control the people. The Feds screw up every other program and the states are not much better. What makes you think we wont go broke under a single payer program. When you can buy votes of those who will do next to nothing, but still get 3 squares and health care, room and board, and boose, why work? Keep them stoned and they wont complain.

If you expect a certain segment of the population to work for free, after all the education they are required to pass, you will eventually get less of those workers. Medical professors don't work for free. Malpractice attorneys dont work for free. Book editors and printers dont work for free and medical equipment manufactures do not work for free. Contractors who build the medical buildings dont work for free either. The target is doctors and nurses. But the unions are working hard to solve that. Sorry, Im on break. Put your thumb in the bullet hole.
