All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

What lies ahead with the Public Option
Robert Reich, Bill Clinton's Secretary of Labor, speaking to college students about Public Health Care.
Federal workers and retirees can select plans from $100 dollars a month to $500 dollars for the most expensive family plan. That plan should be open to everyone, small businesses and corporations as well. I work for a good company but the best they offer is close to 400 a month.
Rockefeller's Medicare plan should be implemented as well.
Most importantly the 1945 anti-trust exemption for private insurance companies has to be repealed.
All of the ideas to promote competition need to be rolled out this is not a problem with a one way solution. It is a multifaceted problem that requires a myriad of approaches.
People who ask who pays are not cognizant of the overall raping of the economy that the anti-trust protected insurance companies have been doing. Macro economics of scale are much more favorable than a business model that has doubled in the past three decades from 6 to 12 and now 24 thousand per household.
