Uniquely American.

It's uniquely American that while I have no right to life saving health care I do have a right to a lawyer to sue after I died, if I weren't dead. So access to a lawyer is more important than access to health care in this country.

Health care is social policy. You can not base social policy on for profit industry. No one else in the entire world, IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, has a for profit national health care industry. And we're half way there anyway, by the time you consider the VA, Medicare/caid, WIC and everything else.

If we had comprehensive, preventive oriented national health care, it would save us money in the long run. It's fact, it's proven. But then, the same people that want to gut health care want to gut education too, even though, again, every country in the entire world knows how important education is and all have some higher level of government subsidized education than the US does. Countries like India and Pakistan pay for their students to come and learn in the US, then go back home with the best education a foreign government can buy. Higher educated people get better jobs, live healthier lifestyles, commit less crimes, are less likely to be abusive in any way.

All this is proven fact, and people still want to gut public education and health care. Uniquely American, thinking that everyone else in the entire world is wrong and only we, by God's Own Grace, know the truth; Capitalism as social policy. I mean, Jesus was all about the Benjamins, amirite?
