May I ask, things such as what Gordan, Single payer? Actually, single payer would be the largest boost the economy has ever seen. All businesses could concentrate on plant investment instead of medical costs. I have no Idea why corporations are so against single payer. The average cost of medical care in the USA is more than 5,000.per capita. That's 416.00 per month, But the per capita cost is erroneous as to what the average taxpayer pays per month. since there are 50 million uninsured and many more under insured, the average tax payer probably pays much more for their private incurance and co-pays. If they taxed the workers on a progressive scale for health care, I'm pretty sure the average would be much less than the real average per worker. I'll bet the average per worker tax burden for health care would be less than 200.00 per mo. if the scale was balanced out. for those making 100K plus, maybe 300.00. Once the profit is taken out of medical, it will soon become apparent just how much the Insurance industry is raping us now. So you see, Single payer is the answer. We can vote on public officials in charge of the medical system, try that with private industry, they just look at us and tell us take it or leave it while they cherry pick their customers. Don't have a pre-condition like Diabetes or you'll not get insured. Right now, I pay 300.00 + copays for my Teamster retirement Insurance, and another 125.00 for my scrips from the VA, and I have decent insurance, not top of the line, but adequate. With single payer, that would probably drop to about 250.00 or less total.
