Instead of Public Health Service clinics who saw everyone for basic health care and billed on a sliding scale based on income, lower income people could just take their "Medical Care Aid Card" to any local health provider and the provider would be paid by the newly formed Health Education and Welfare department. Now, HEW spends 90 cents on every dollar justifying not paying anyone. Health care providers are very averse to taking Medicaid assignment because the rates are low and the federal government takes six to eighteen months to pay.

How about getting the national health care concept back in the hands of a doctor? Give the Surgeon General an the Public Health Service in charge of public health care instea of office workers for HEW?

No matter how you TRY to spin it, a health insurance bill has nothing to do with "health care". Insurance is big business and not a medical skill but a statistical and actuarial skill.

WHY IS ALWAYS CONSIDERED BLACK ???!!!!!

WHERE IS THE RACISM THEN?

A WHITE PERSON CAN BE CRITICIZED. A PERSON OF COLOR CANNOT. WE ARE ALL PEOPLE AND FIND THAT THIS GENERATION ACCEPTS ALL OF US AS ONE PEOPLE.

IT IS ACTUALLY THE BLACK RACE THAT KEEPS BRINGING IT UP. YES, WE ARE SO SORRY THAT LIFE WAS HELL BACK THEN, BUT IT IS THE SAME FOR ALL RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE THE ONES MAKING THE CURRENT DIVIDE.

WE ARE SO VERY SORRY, YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED THAT WAY, BUT NOT OUR FAULT, AND NOT OUR FAULT THAT BEGINNING SLAVES WERE SOLD BY THEIR OWN BLACK PEOPLE. HISTORY FOR REAL THAT YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT.

I AM WHITE,BUT RAISED BY THE DEAREST BLACK WOMAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I LOVED HER MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF!!!

here's a nice simple test.

who here can't currently afford healthcare?

oh…no one? That's because you're all hypocrites.

leave the complex problems to the grown-ups, children.
