Though our ultimate goal should be one-payer national health insurance, as is Medicare, we at least need a public option in the bill now before Congress. Otherwise, what's the point of passing it? We'll just have to go at it all over again.
It's the big insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies that are preventing this from happening. Why should their money be allowed to buy our government representatives? There's something fundamentally wrong with our way of electing government officials when we allow big money to put them in office.
One of the truest of all adages is that it's who pays the piper that calls the tune. We have to, somehow, put a stop to this.
