I worked for the post office yesterday. While I was sorting mail a few of us got into a dicussion about universal health care. One of the guys said "but you realize we're going to have to pay for that." This takes me back to an excerpt out of a blog post I read before going to work.
"It is utterly ridiculous that any adult cannot figure out the obvious inequity of this nation and American capitalism, where an elite one percent of the people grab 45% of the national pie. Such a conditioned stupidity and powerlessness makes you want to cry for your country." Joe Bageant
The top 1% of the income bracket can pay for it.
When are we going to start talking about the wealth gap in America?

The insurance companies pocket 20 cents out of every dollar right now ... that would pay for a lot of health care.
