    Nader would make a great President. As far as all these predatory private health insurance companies goes. Well, they’re just a bi product of the corrupted predatory, unregulated capitalist system. They need to go. They’re obsolete. They’re a detriment to society as a whole.

    One payer system is the only way to go.

    Private health insurance is a private tyranny that only exists in United States. It’s a rather barbaric system that tells you you’re health is only worth what you can afford.

    People in United States should get behind, and support, HR 676. If you don’t know what it is learn about it! GM & Ford are going bankrupt because of the rising cost of health care. If United States had single-payer system, the companies wouldn’t have to worry about it.

    >Do the FIREMEN ask you if you have fire insurance before they put out the fire!?
    >Does a SCHOOL ask you if you have education insurance?
    >Do POLICE ask you if you have police insurance before responding?
    answer: >NO and it’s Government run.
    >HEALTH is what we value most, and should be at the top of that list!

    The MAJORITY of Americans want Single-Payer.
    Relying on an “industry” as the health care system is now,
    assures you will be considered a mere NUMBER!
    Listen to what Nader is saying in the video.
    We The People want Single-Payer like Canada!
    >18,000 Americans WILL DIE next year who lack access
    to health care with our present health care “industry”!
    Vote Nader/Gonzalez 08!

    No more Pay-Or-Die health Care System!
    We Want Single-Payer like Canada!

    NADER/Gonzalez = WE the PEOPLE
    Democrats and Republicans = THEY the CORPORATIONS
    * They’re blocking him from debating because they’re quite scared!
    * “Spoiler” is a politically bigoted word used by the opposing
    parties to keep the independents out of the race.
    * The two headed Democrat and Republican monster is not
    to be trusted as they’ve proven over and over!

    We must act together now to stop the decay…Vote for Nader! No more settling for the lesser of two evils - we need an honest President with the courage to act in America’s best interests.

    John McCain-
    “Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.”

    So if we marketize health care, it will perform as well as the financial industry!

    Ron Paul should do what Nader did; get out of the system parties and provide more options. I know people who will votge for Nader and those who would vote for Ron Paul.

    This is so painful to watch because we will never see this brilliant, courageous man as President because he’s not a cowardly, corporate sell-out like all Democracts and Republicans are.

    We’re going backwards in Britain. They keep spending the money dragging us into war they’ve been privatising our NHS which was one of the things many were most proud of in Britain, especially seeing the system in the US. Privatisation has created a 2 teir system with good doctors moving into the better paid jobs, and causes hospitals to be at risk of closing if they don’t attract enough patients as if they were customers. We need Nder here in Britain aswell to set us back on the right track.

    Nader wants an independent commission to investigate the many questions surrounding those plane crashes. He said the other one was far-from non-biased.

    After McCains health care tax causes my employer to drop my health insurance, how will the $2500 tax rebate it gives me force health care providers to lower prices? International corporations have been unable to do this with thousands of employees with which to negotiate. What makes him think my company will raise my salary and not take the savings as profit? His plan seems based on the view sick Americans want free elective care. He, of all people, knows that Cancer is NOT elective.

    Free Trade and Privatization are nice sounding phrases but Americans need to realize that free trade means slave-made products allowed into the USA to destroy both domestic labor and production. Privatized essential government responsibility is a shirking of responsibility to unsworn vultures. When you hear the term free trade, think of it as slave trade. When an international calls something free, they mean THEY are free to enslave You. They would castrate America and call it free ***.

    Yes, the insurance companies are middlemen that steer programs into their own spiderweb of banking. The Federal Reserve is a classic example of our government out sourcing what it is designed to do. Insurance middlemen, the Federal Reserve banks and Blackwater type war middlemen have ****** our nation dry intentionally crippling our sovereign right as a nation to be independent of the biggest enemy of all: international corporate slavers. Those international slavers penetrate our markets freely.

    The American HMO and private health insurance industry is as much a criminal enterprise as the Oil industry. Nader, Kucinich, Mike Gravell, and Cynthia McKinney rocks! We need true populists and progressives like Nader to lead our country.

    Ralph Nader has fought hard for Americans over the years.
    where does he stand on 911 though?
