Make health insurance MANDATORY !

It is no wonder that in a capitalist society -that can't put

    PEOPLE above profits - car insurance is mandatory but health insurance

    for workers - who own a LIVING machine far more complex than a car, far

    more expensive to repair when damaged than car - HEALTH INSURANCE is

    not mandatory. You don't dare drive a car without car insurance. Likewise

    we should not dare LOAN our human body -and our human mind ( subject to

    mental illness ) - to economic exploiters.

               When will this nation grasp the simple human truth that

    health care is a just a HUMAN RIGHT for everybody - employed or

    unemployed ? 

              Today I read a TRIVIAL news story  revealing that the 40 million

    Americans without health insurance do not just walk into hospitals when

    they need medical attention. They usually wait for a disaster to happen !

                 It seems that the uninsured are treated -more often than not-

    as NON-PERSONS by the health care industry. Here RACE , GENDER, NATIONALITY,

    SEXUAL ORIENTATION - are irrelevant. What matters is INSURANCE !

             I say that nothing should be more politically correct that a

    national health care plan for ALL Americans - and even for human beings

    right off the boat !
