One-payer system

It is incredible that liberal or progressive media, representatives, and people of influence are not speaking out incessantly for single-payer health insurance.

Nary a word is seen or spoken from all manner of influential sources to counter the egregious legislation being introduced in Congress by the conservatives. That proposed legislation is acknowledged by rational people of influences and citiznes of conscience to be a pending disaster.We refuse to follow the lead of every enlightened country outside the United States to have in place the only type plan that makes sense — universal coverage.

What a woeful, negligent state of leadership have we right now.

Sid Sussman,

Hallandale
