The thing I don't understand is how conservatives in America are so opposed to a single payer health care system. Americans pay twice as much as even the second most expensive country, are the most addicted to pills, have a decreasing life expectancy and yet anything else is deemed Communist or inferior. It makes no sense to me how making huge profits for private insurance companies is deemed the way to go. To me, you cannot on the one hand say that government is tyranny, but on the other hand argue that tyranny by corporations is any better.
