"Americans want universal health coverage, group says" Ya think????

Per CNN.COM:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The federal government should guarantee that all Americans have basic health insurance coverage, says a committee set up by Congress to find out what people want when it comes to health care.

Wow...what a surprise! People say that they want to know that they can get treated if they get sick...Whooda thought? See, we all thought that people wanted to be left to die in the gutter if they got sick.

Since no private entity can be forced to provide every man, woman, and child with healthcare, it is the federal government's responsibility to do so. Maybe if the government really were footing the bill, the government would take the whole cost of medication thing seriously. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Without health insurance anywhere, I paid 12 bolivianos ($1.50 US)to get a shot of birth control in Bolivia, 32 Euro ($40 US) in Germany, and $90 US in America.

The only people not interested in universal health care are the people who are rich enough not to have to worry about it.
