Question: What does it have to be socialized medicine to make sure people have affordable healthcare? and dental care?

we already have socialized medicine. it’s called Medicaid.
it doesn’t have to be referred to as “socialized”. All most of us are asking for is a very large “group” insurance plan , where all the people in the U.S. are eligible on that group. Our premiums can be in the form of taxes and if it is that large of a group, all of our premiums will drop dramatically.

Spin doctors on the right, and left will not solve the heatlhcare by accused one of social Darwinism on the left, and accusing democrats for wanting socialism on the right. Clinton running for office is not great if she wins, but biggest block of voters are swing voters. The primaries to be presidential nominee is campaigning at the extreme base, and then the Candidates have to make the 20 year dash towards the middle of the political spectrum somewhat. Free-market universal health care is possible if the democrats take a minute to realize that single payer system will increase tax rates on the middle class more, and the republicans got to realize that employer based coverage is determent to the global economy. SC 334 by supported by Sen Bennett, Wydan is the good place to start on finding a solution to health care, and Conyers, Kunich bill HR 676 bill is dead on arrival in the house, and will be fillbusted by house members of both parties. Don’t look to Canada for heatlhcare ideas look for at France, Germany, Switzerland for ideas. To solve health care the radicals on the left, and right need to realize longer we wait to fix the mess the more jobs in the long term it cost the American economy.

Because it gives a false reason for why it is a MUST to have such expensive health care. It is a way to explain why it has to be expensive…and to make people stop thinking for themselves.
Control how people think and you have your job done…the only thing left is to take their money.
