Without campaign finance reform......our choices are as follows (pick all that apply):
- do nothing
- allow health care financing to continue as a for-profit entity that is subsidized by tax dollars
- change health insurance financing to be a not-for-profit entity (it was that way when I was a kid)
- medicare for all at 55 yrs (and eventually for all despite age) and if under the current system, pay bunches more of tax dollars to big pharma and big health insurance
- overhaul how we finance healthcare and institute a single payer system along the lines of the VA system.
If you think big pharma and big health insurance will loose this battle......I would suggest you look at how we finance elections......money talks....
The first change to be made is how election campaigns are financed. All political campaigns should receive the exact same amount of exposure, head to head.
Unless we change election financing we are pissing in the wind.....
