RAy;
No where in this magnificant document is health care mentioned as a right.
Single payer WILL lead to rationing. We do not have enough doctors to service the millions who would be come elgible for care.
I think that we should incrementally ease in to a program that will take care of the 5-6 million who truly cannot afford it.
To do otherwise risks a protracted resession.
I will email you a proper answer to y our post.
I am still amazed that Mr. Hill called me a racist. When all else fails I suppose......LOL
