Health care crime

Forty-nine people died yesterday in this country because they didn't have health insurance.

Forty-nine people will also die today in this country because they have no health insurance.

And 49 will die tomorrow for the same reason.

And 49 the day after that, and 49 the day after that, and another 49 the day after that, ad nauseum.

18,000 Americans die each year in America because they have no health insurance. If that's not an injustice, then I don't know what one is.

Here's how my candidate for our next president feels about this issue:

The solution to the nation’s healthcare problem is...to make sure every American has the access to quality healthcare, and the only way to do that is for Congress to pass a bill that would provide for universal not-for-profit healthcare for all Americans. There’s a bill called “Medicare for all,” and this bill in this current Congress is HR 676—the Conyers/Kucinich bill. (emphasis mine)

What's your candidate for president's position on this?

"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane."
--Martin Luther King, Jr.
