Stick it to the Man Monday...HEALTH CARE

Newsflash...health care in America is a mess! There are many reasons, but one of the biggest is private, for-profit health insurance companies. We really don't have a "health care" system at all, what we really have is an "insurance company profit" system, because the end result of our system is not to produce healthier people, it's to produce insurance corporation profits. Simply put, the less health care they provide, the more money insurance companies make. And while insurance companies provide no actual health value, it is estimated that 31% of American health care spending goes to insurance corporation bureaucracy, paperwork, denial-of-care investigators, CEO salaries, and shareholder profits. By having universal health care, not only would we cut out the middleman, we would also be able to provide preventive care to everybody (which is much cheaper than critical care) and ease the burden on our overwhelmed emergency rooms (which are the health care of last resort for many Americans).
