Why doesn't America do something more about the problem?

But isn't health care, this bad enough to call for a revolution? If the French or British would do it, then why not Americans? Cause they are too afraid? Well the Americans are the same culture of people who overthrew British colonization to be come their own country, so why is this situation not good enough?

I mean even when the U.S. government spent billions of dollars fighting a war in Iraq, which did no good for anyone, they just participated in the war, and still did it, instead of saying NO, WE WON'T. I mean how worse does a government has to become to have a revolution? I mean if the government brought back slavery or brought in Prima Nocte, that might be enough for the people to attempt a revolution, maybe. But I still think that if the U.K. and France, are living much better because of better governments, and they would not tolerate an American system in place, then why isn't it good enough for Americans to tolerate?

I think that the American people underestimate how much power they actually have. I mean a lot of people in army did not agree with the war in Iraq, nor do they probably agree with the current medical profiteering system in place. Now these men in the army have access to missiles, tanks, planes. I mean a nuclear submarine captain has lots of missiles on board. But apparently the American people are still choosing to be a medical mockery by their own government.

That's a laugh it would cost alot more than what your suggesting to cover health care. Its fine if you want socialized medicine but be truthful about the costs.

^^^^This. And unfortunately most Americans aren't aware how things are done differently in other places around the world. We've just accepted the status quo as it is what it is. And many people have bought into the right-wing propaganda that if we went to universal healthcare....Socialism and Communism are next! But you ask the average American what the definition of Socialism is and they can't really tell you. They just know it's bad because FOX news has told them so. Funny thing is we actually have many elements of Socialism already, and I've even known Political Science professors to describe us as a quasi Socialist/Capitalist society.

And in my experience, it's the people with the government jobs, and pensions, and health care that are the most ardent right-wing loud mouths that are always talking about smaller government...I'm like "you do realize that would mean you'd no longer have that govt. pension to live off if it weren't for those twenty years you worked for the USPS, right?" Sadly, they do t understand this...sheeple..
