We need a single payer, universal health care system. The insurance, legal, and prescription drug lobbies will scream foul but they have had their chance and really made a mess of it. I support California's SB 840 which would cover all Californians for life. Something like this could easily work nationally.

You state: "...I support California's SB 840 which would cover all Californians for life. Something like this could easily work nationally."
Though I do not agree with California's SB 840, at least it seems to follow the 9TH and 10TH Amendments to Our Constitution. As I have stated before, National Health Insurance, of whatever type, would only pass Constitutional Muster providing it went through the Amendment Process as outlined in Article 5.
The Federal Government at present has NO SUCH POWER to enact any such law Constitutionally; the complete distortion of the "Commerce Clause" notwithstanding. It will be interesting to see which part of the Constitution Congress tries to use in "justifying" National Health Care.-

If we have to amend the Constitution I'm willing to support that. This really needs to be a national thing so that people are covered while traveling. San Francisco has health care for all it's citizens. This is great and has been working well but they aren't covered unless they are IN San Francisco.

How much more can California afford. They can't. I guess that is why you would like universal healthcare so everyone in America could help pay for the massive welfare state that California has created. America does not need to mimmic any failing system that California has created or poposed. Universal Healthcare has to be defeated. Obama and his democrat cronies have done such a good job with the stimulus package we can't afford anymore of their incompetance and socialism.

What are your suggestions? You say universal health care is a failure, even though we have never tried it. Do you suggest just letting people die in the streets? That sounds kind of medieval to me I agree that people need to be responsible for themselves but we are also obligated to help our fellow men and women. I'm just wondering, do you have any ideas other than calling other peoples ideas failures and parroting talking points?
