4. Truly the only solution!

When you have health insurance companies with executive making millions a year in salary, plus benefits and perks on top of that, it's obvious that costs are being padded--a lot--to cover the cost of doing business.

There is something truly wrong with a supposedly civilized society that will allow people to die without care so that a CEO can make that kind of money.

Many areas do not have competition in the health care market, so there's no way to keep costs down. You cannot have "the best health care in the world" when the profit of a private sector corporation is in the equation. These companies have profited off the backs of people for decades, it's time to level the playing field so EVERYONE has equal access to health care that's not dependent on their bank account.
