...You know all of those stories Republicans tell us about why American healthcare is so expensive? You know, malpractice awards are too high, that we don't ration our healthcare, that our healthcare infrastructure is just better, etc, etc. Well, according to an extensive study published last year in the journal Health Affairs, those stories are (surprise, surprise) not true.

It's time for universal health care now, for all our citizens. A large percentage of people in this country are one catastrophic illness away from financial ruin. The only thing the current American health care system is good for is enriching folks who already have most of the money. I'm sorry, but health care should not be a for-profit endeavor. If you're going to med school to become a doctor, you should be doing it for noble motives, not as a way to get rich like lawyers do.
