No matter which of the major candidates you support in this year's presidential election, the shameful reality is not one of them has a workable plan to guarantee universal health care for all Americans.
This is no longer acceptable, citizens. The rest of the industrialized world -- and many emerging nations -- have working health-care systems in place at a fraction of the cost we pay. In Germany, the system set up by Otto von Bismarck has worked through two world wars and the reunification of the German state. In contrast, the country whose system most closely resembles our own is China. That's right, Communist China has a consumer-based pay system guaranteed to bankrupt its most needy citizens.
We deserve better. However, we will not get anything but a band-aid approach from whomever takes the White House this fall. We need a national campaign to lobby the Congress and the president until we get a workable national health plan and policy that does not capitulate to the demands of the insurance and pharmaceutical industries.
I have the time, skills and motivation to implement this campaign. What I don't have is -- you know what's coming -- the capital to get it up and running. I need a web-hosting site with sufficient bandwidth to handle several gigs of video, a web designer to give it an appropriate face and identity, and cash donations. I will supply the rest. If you want change and want it now, please join me.
NOTE: Donations are not tax-deductible because they will be used strictly for political purposes. Nonetheless, a donation will still make you feel good about yourself and better about your country.
