Thomas Paine's version of "you didn't build that":
"Separate an individual from society,and give him an island or a continent to possess,and he cannot acquire personal property. He cannot be rich. So inseparably are the means connected with the end,in all cases,that where the former do not exist the latter cannot be obtained. All accumulation, therefore,of personal property,beyond what a man's own hands produce, is derived to him by living in society; and he owes on every principle of justice,of gratitude,and of civilization,a part of that accumulation back again to society from whence the whole came"

Medicare is a PUBLIC OPTION and works. Why are insurance and pharmaceutical companies even at the table when the relationship should be between the people and their government? United – we would have the power to negotiate prices. Deregulation and smaller government brought us catastrophe. Why? Greed.
