Regardless of how many millions are without such care, US citizens should be receiving some type of workable health care through a functioning health care system.

Republican's by now realize that the only time significant gains are made for the populace as a whole is when there is a Democratic President and both Houses of Congress are controlled by the Democrats. At these times, they are capable of passing such legislation as to bring Social Security, Medicare and now a health care system into being. This has been such a hot potato issue, but I realize after watching TV, that health care in Hoboken is indeed thought of differently than in the Hamptons. The Republicans taking their cue from the Hamptons have no choice but to act as an impediment to legislation that benefits the entire populace.

Yes, I realize that many of you think that health care for all is the work of the adversary, as well as the instrument that will plunge us headlong into full scale socialism.

What else?

Who is going to pay for this socialize service? Have you live in a country where this is instituted?

What is scary here is the apathy problem among the populace, in not seeing a trend of nationalism.
