Dennis Kucinich: Left Man Standing
Published:
The common meme is that only the evil republicans oppose the gov't takeover of healthcare.
Not quite. There are some dems who aren't just jumping on board.

For those keeping score, Kucinich voted AGAINST the bailouts.
You remember the bailouts, those things the banksters got and you didn't.

I just want to make that clear since your statement that he opposes the takeover of health care is false.
I've been a big supporter of this man for a long time and was hoping he'd run in 2008. It was Kucinich who co-sponsored the National Health Insurance Act introduced in 2005 by Rep John Conyers in 2005 asking for "Medicare For All."
When you get to be 59 and paid for insurance all your life but can't afford the premiums any more, let me know how you feel about it. I'm also opposed to the current plan, but it's a step in the door. The eligibility age for Medicare should be lowered which would cover a large percentage of the people who have worked hard for 40 years but are being penalized because of age, health, or both. The problem is you don't pay into a private insurance plan. So you can pay and pay over $100,000 in 10 or 15 years, never use a dime of it, and then change plans or be canceled and have nothing to show for it. You can work for a company for 25 years, lose your insurance and be unable to afford the COBRA payments. If all these people paid into a national health care system, it would cut the deficit by billions.
I wish people were this passionate about spending billions in Iraq instead of fighting to deny millions of Americans a chance to live with dignity, or at least the chance to live.
If you read the blogs regularly, you will find some of us still talking about the wars we are in and the lies that led us there.
