44. GREAT idea for a thread!

I am a supporter of a single-payer universal health care system. Dennis Kucinich's plan is closest to what my own views on the subject are.

My views are shaped by not only utilizing a state-sponsored health care plan in the past, but also through working in social services with people who needed health care.

Any discussion of reforming the health care system cannot neglect controlling costs and the greed of private for-profit insurance companies. Unless we address this issue, we will still have the same problems we have today.

Here's a good editorial on the subject:
