Insurance companies need to be removed from health care. Health care in the USA is crippling the non-health care related economy and individual family economies across the nation.

If there was a national, guaranteed plan, my working days would not be spent at the job I hate, but more likely doing something I loved to do. That is about personal freedom. We are slaves to the health care system for life... A good game if you're the CEO of Humana or Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Imagine if people were free to tell their bosses to shove it that, you know, they really didn't need their shitty job after all. Imagine the number of free and wonderful people who would be floating around in our society!
