So there are a number of studies coming out lately about the state of American health care. This graph really sums it up. The purple line is how much a nation spends per capita. We're at about twice any other nation, we don't cover 45 Million People, and our national life expectancy is mediocre. The next down is CUBA, who spend about 10% of what we do. GO figure.

The point is that in this country we waste enormous amounts of money on medical insurance when we should have a standardized, systemized program for medican care. We can still support research. We can still have the most amazing procedures avilable on the planet. We can still have elective medical operations. We can still have all of this, and we can cover all the people with nothing right now (including yours truly), and we can pay around half what we do now.

Sound good? Ok. Let's start working for it.
