Two simple solutions

Over on AMERICAblog today there is an article about a girl who died after being denied a transplant by her insurance company. Here is someone's comment about that:

Publicly funded elections and single payer healthcare will go a long way toward fixing what's wrong with this country.

Inalienable right to life, my ass.

I so, so agree.

UPDATE: Here's another comment I appreciate:

No, the Dems aren't angels, but higher taxes to pay for things that are needed to make America strong is WAY more angelic than BORROWING BILLIONS FOR AN UNNECESSARY WAR while cutting taxes on the richest and letting the middle class die out and take away the social safety net for our most vulnerable.

And when are Republican voters going to realize that, yes, their taxes will go up if we get univeral health care but their insurance premiums (which are enormous) will be eliminated! That means for their employer too. Which means business will get better and they can effectively negotiate for higher wages.
