health care

neither presidential candidate has a health care proposal that i care anything about.  i realize that the insurance companies and big pharma are powerful interests with lots of money and weight to throw around.  so, imagine my surprise when i ran across this today:

5,000 doctors challenge private insurance system

i couldn’t find any recent polls- although i am sure they are out there in this poll happy season- the most recent is zogby in may and npr/aspen in february of this year.  i am guessing that most folks would be for socialized health care- or call it national health care if that’s more palatable.  much of the debt in this country- and the deaths- come from underinsurance or none at all.  it is going to take powerful groups like the ama and citizens grassroots movements to get this going- but as the boomers start to age and the government stops paying for medicaid and medicare- that’s going to get folks’ attention.
