Healthcare Legislation in This Congress

Forcing universal health insurance, without a public provider, is a license for the insurance companies to provide poorer coverage at a greater cost. The correct answer is a single public provider, however, our current form of government, which is hostage to the health care industry lobbyist, makes that impossible.
