Re: Social security and health insurance.
The number of uninsured keeps rising... the people who balk at a 'socialized' medical system hardly realize how much uninsured people cost the economy.
To be sure, the whole healthcare system in this country needs to be thoroughly reevaluated and reorganized. We're in the bottom third when it comes to healthcare efficiency.
It's fucking pathetic that the richest nation on Earth can't afford to at the VERY VERY least let everyone go for free once a year for a checkup.
