Reply #12: It has taken so long to get here. No profiteering on people's illnesses. [View All]

It is not "socialized medicine" as Rudy and others try to frame it. Socialized medicine would mean the government owns the hospitals and Doctors. It is national health care insurance paid for by our tax dollars. Dr.s nurses, and hospitals all remain as they are...it just means the bills are covered, and it is not for profit so no Ins. corporations are making big bucks off denying you treatment after paying premiums all those years. Ins. lobbyists and big pharm have 40 reps per congress person so they will try everything to prevent this from going through the legislature. (also shows how much profit they've made off us over the years). Congress must resist the money to do what is right and we must make them feel the pressure of not being reelected if they vote against national healthcare. There's nop reason to vote against it except you are being bribed.
