The People's Health Insurance Company

Admittedly, this is only a straw man for what The People's Health Insurance Company could do.

The People's Health Insurance Company would need to get support from those who have a significant financial fortune and who are today in favor of the kind of universal health care that every other industrialized nation provides. The People's Health Insurance Company will never even get off the ground without straight out donations from those who can donate significant sums of money. This should not be a problem as we all have seen people who are wealthy by almost any standard express support for universal health care. And that is exactly what The People's Health Insurance Company would be providing, universal health care. If this never happened, we would have the right to question the sincerity of people who are expressing support for universal health care.

Universal health care is something the US government should be providing for American citizens.

It's sad that Americans who believe that ours is a "we" society and not an "I've got mine so screw you" society would have to fill the gap left in the Founding Fathers' mission statement with no help from their government. However, as stated, we heard our government's answer to the question, "Do you intend to promote the general welfare of Americans?" and that answer has always been, is now and will no doubt always be a resounding, "No!"
