Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through

I don't usually make this kind of post, but I'm curious and I want to see if anyone responds.
Why is America seemingly so afraid of a nationalised health service?
What is so terrible about everyone being able to receive treatment, regardless of how rich they are?

Some people want nothing more than power and control. I suppose, like with all things, it is the reason for their fear.

I am not at all afraid of it-I voted for Clinton twice and for Obama partly in hopes of getting it done. It will be the insurance companies and some doctors not to mention the drug companies-anyone profiting from the current system who fight it. We need coverage for everyone. I have known many people from Europe who tell me a national health plan works. I know my Scottish penpal didn't panic-with her 4 children yet-when her husband lost a job several years back. An American in that situation is in dire straits w/o money to "cobra" private benefits. Costs a couple of grand a month in many cases. The rich fear higher taxes. I'm all for it. It would give job changing freedom to many to have a healthcare backup at the very least. We will never all learn to get along-not in my lifetime anyway.

The Music in my Titles












Darkness, Darkness

Robert Plant

Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep
Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning, For the things I cannot see
Keep my mind from constant turning, To the things I cannot be
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night
Take away the pain of knowing, fill the emptiness with light
Emptiness with light now

Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome, Is the day that brings me here
I have felt the edge of sadness, I have known the depths of fear
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night
Take away this pain of knowing, Fill this emptiness with light now
Emptiness with light now

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night
Take away this pain of knowing, fill this emptiness with light now
Oh with light now.
Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep
In the silence of your deep
In the - oh oh yeah
In the summer baby
come on come on come on baby...
