[Sidney Lanier]

I reiterate again that from my point of view this is not a "political thread." I say again that the government absolutely does not have to sponsor a national health plan. But I do say that the government can, but sadly does not, mandate that those industries responsible for our health care provide it to us in ways that truly serve us rather than serve the industries primarily. Not so simple, I'm sure, when I say "simple as that," but certainly simpler than national health....
