We don't need single-payer; we need a National Public Health Care System

Doctors are opposed to private, for-profit health insurance but these greedy doctors sure want to keep the profit in the system for themselves:

What we need is a National Public Health Care System--- public financing, public administration and public delivery... everyone in, nobody out; pre-natal to burial... general health care, eyes, ears, dental. A national network of health care centers in every community and neighborhood.


The cost would be a small fraction of what these dirty imperialist wars are costing us and over twelve-million people would be employed at good-paying jobs.


Put the doctors on the public payroll just like teachers and other public employees.


How do we get such a world-class system if the existing political political parties won't enact a National Public Health Care System?


We do what working people have always had to do when this rotten government refuses to provide for human needs--- we build a grassroots and rank-and-file movement and fight like hell for it... and we create a working class based political party that places peace and health care at the very top of its agenda.


Why should we waste our time and resources fighting for a single-payer system that is just going to keep a bunch of greedy doctors rich?


Socialized health care is the only way to go.


Single-payer is private delivery and mostly private administration with public financing.


Socialized health care operates just like public education--- public funding, public administration and public delivery.
