Who's dumb idea was it that we could get top quality health care, or at least that which is equal to our third world countries, and make a profit too. Any rational person should see two major apposing forces good health care vs profits.

I am in full support of the California Single Payer Health Plan.

How better to measure the character of our state (I wait for national health care "reform") by taking care of citizens that need care and cannot afford it. Should only those who are able to work get health care and in that case, what about people working part time, or those who are exploited with wages far below the ability to have a quality life.

I was talked into an unnecessary UPPP operation on my throat for sleep apnea by an ENT doctor at the UCD Medical Center in July 2008. I learned afterward that the operation is not indicated for someone with moderate sleep apnea (me) and fibromyalgia (me also). An unnecessary expense for Medicare.

I was not told that it is a very invasive procedure. The operation was done badly, causing a leak in my swallowing. Food sticks in the back of my throat and liquid backs up into my nose. causing digestion problems and nose irritation problems. Thus my health was unnecessarily harmed--for profit for a doctor and/or practice for an intern.

Somehow, Some way, this WILL HAPPEN!

In Canada, irt was not the Federal Government, buit the individual provinces which brought the Canadian version of single-payer, universal health care to Canada.

If our useless federasl government here can't do it, then let's do it state by state, untiil they're forced to do it, in order to make it umniform -- that's how the Canadians did it!

Good point, Richard!

I already have Medicare and I want to share it with everybody.

I guess those who want to throw out this term "Socialized" would like to give up our "socialized" public utilities, highway and public streets, parks, etc.

CaliforniaOneCare will show the rest of the country what CAN be done.
