I have been collecting newspaper articles, editorials, opinion pieces and letters to the editor about socialized health care. I have yet to read one single article stating that socialized health care works.
Like in other newspapers, a number of letter writers to the Grand Forks Herald over the past several months have written claiming that socialized health care doesn't work.
In fact, the United States has two of the best health care systems in the world and both of these socialized health care systems work great when adequately funded.
Veterans (VA) and the Indian Health Service (IHS) are two fine examples of socialized health care.
They should be expanded to include all Americans.
Socialized health care works great; I have yet to hear anyone using either the VA or Indian Health Service calling for them to end.
There have been complaints both programs don't receive adequate funding. Does anyone believe that a Congress and President who won't adequately fund VA or Indian Health Services will properly fund this so-called "public option" over the long haul?
These politicians cry poverty yet they always find money for militarism and wars... the time has come to tell the politicians and the generals to hold bake good sales to finance their wars and fund socialized health care instead.
