The White House and the Democratic majority in Congress are ignoring the demands of the majority of the American people regarding health care, deliberately denying all Americans health care as a right not a commodity and privilege and playing their business as usual, corporatist role in Washington, apparently hell bent on establishing their historical place as a mediocre administration and Congress while inflicting continued struggles on regular Americans.

These elected officials have government provided quality health care at affordable cost, but have the hypocrisy of denying the same to you and me.

They stay busy getting dizzy, wasting time while people die because of lack of health care, pretending that they're doing something when, in fact, they are needlessly building a rickety house on sand, a slapdash monstrosity doomed to fail and fall in order to placate their health industry controllers/contributors.

However, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) understands the issue and has succinctly and factually listed the reasons that single payer, universal health care (S. 703 and HR 676) is the answer to the health care crisis caused by the for profit health care insurers.

For example:

• The United States spends $2.3 trillion each year on health care, 16 percent of its Gross Domestic Product;
• Americans spend $7,129 per person on health care, 50 percent more than other industrialized countries, including those with universal care;
• The U.S. does not get what it pays for.  We rank among the lowest in the health outcome rankings of developed countries, and on several major indices rank below some third-world nations;

It will only take a minute or two to go here and read the rest of Bernie Sanders' straight talking petition.  Isn't affordable health care for you and every other American worth two minutes of your time?
