"July 30 marks the 48th anniversary of the establishing of Medicare and Medicaid — but since 1965 both have been treated like pieces on a political chessboard. Instead of insurance mandates that will increase the profits and power of insurance companies - an idea conceived by the insurance companies, written by the Republicans, and delivered by the Democrats - we need a single payer health care system that makes health care a right It’s past time for comprehensive, universal health care coverage that includes dental and vision coverage; has no co-pays, deductibles, or private insurance companies; and does not deluge people with confusing paperwork."
