I was wrong …
I was wrong yesterday–thought it was either or. Either universal healthcare or affirmative action. But no–Kucinich would have provided both:
Kucinich site:
“As a result, Congressman Kucinich has argued for the importance of preserving affirmative action initiatives at all levels of our society.”
Okay, backing up …
Okay, backing up just a bit here. Affirmative Action for African-Americans through Obama could bring housing/food for them, which might take precedence over healthcare for all.
Difficult call. Then maybe my only criticism would be the short-sightedness of that, being within a perpetually evil (corrupt) system. I think Kucinich (or leftist like Chavez if only tongue-in-cheek) could bring about the best change. I don’t see it happening through anyone else.

Exactly. Nazi eugenics, sociological definition considering the poor an unneccesary burden on society.

Look at this–nobody has even posted here since four months ago. people have given up while Spike Lee puts forth the lie that Obama will create “seismic change”. The only seismic change will come when we get together and vote Hugo Chavez/Evo Morales 2008! as write-in candidates. lol
Kucinich is the …
Kucinich is the ONLY one to have a specific universal healthcare plan. Very disappointed both in Cornel West and Spike Lee, both of whom say so many good things, for their Obama endorsement. It’s like a bribe; vote for Obama to get African-American’s employment but within a perpetually evil system. Disgusting how the wealthy Dems kept Kucinich completely marginalized. When he spoke to a large crowd in Anchorage, AK a couple years ago, the Anchorage Daily News had none of his speech; only photo.

Dennis Kucinich is one of only 2 men on the stage here who would get my vote. The other being Gravel, of course. Unfortunately, Democrats fell right in line behind Obama and Hilary, like the sheeple that they are, these worthless candidates with no real promise or ability to get real change made. This is a disgrace! We’re gonna have another pathetic 04on our hands with 2 ridiculous, unqualified candidates. Either we need to have a multiparty system or give 3rd parties more of a chance.

HR 676 Universal Single-Payer Health Care for ALL!! Tell congress to vote YES!!
Dennis Kucinich 2008!!
We ALREADY pay …
We ALREADY pay enough for universal care, yet 40% of the population is not covered!
One last point. Profiting from the sick is just plain wrong and insurance companies can only make money by denying as many people as they can.
Universal Health …
Universal Health Care is inevitable; each year health insurance companies get better and better at pre-screening the public. In a few years only a healthy person with a good family history will get healthcare. The rest will not, and the burden for THEIR care will end up being the taxpayers anyway.

Joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction.
Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction.

Poor health care is a weapon of mass destruction.
Poor education is a weapon of mass destruction.
Discrimination is a weapon of mass destruction.

kucinich is kicking es. he rocks.
agree with you. …
agree with you. just not, in all fairness, that gravel (you could see him with his hand up) also supports a single-payer system. kucinich knows more about it though.
That is obviously …
That is obviously SO wrong, it is still about inhaling smoke particles and burning chemicals (maybe less nasty than Marlboro’s, but the concept is the same). I believe you’re refering to Marijuana as never having killed people on Over Dose. Nicotine is a poison, but I’d like to see people OD on smoking it tho…
I totally agree, …
I totally agree, legalize marijuana and tax it. Maybe not to make it cost as much as it does now, but I think that is a great idea. It will definitely save money in law enforcement, and originally making it illegal was unconstitutional in the first place.
That is so true! I …
That is so true! I actually don’t know any tobacco users who wouldn’t gladly make the switch if it were legal.
Actually that’s a …
Actually that’s a great idea, the marijuana tax I mean.
Turn a money-drain, spending $60 billion a year to arrest drug-users, into a money-gain, yearly tax revenue of $75 billion.
And we can prevent atleast SOME of those 500,000 cigarette-related deaths, and massive medical costs, if say half of them switch to marijuana. Marijuana has NEVER KILLED anyone.
For people …
For people wondering how a universal health care would be funded, remember Kucinich only supports a non-profit health care plan.
Also to name a couple sources of funding, think about the money that we will save when we get out of Iraq.
Or how about when marijuana is legalized? Herbs are easy and cheap to grow when legal (E.g. 1 pound of chamomile or lavender flowers is only $15!). Legalize marijuana and place a heavy tax so the price is about the same as what people pay for it now.
Um….do your …
Um….do your research, it WILL include Military vets and American indians. it will cover everyone. again, DO YOUR RESEARCH. anyway it is the first bold step, and these other reps are puppets for insurance companies…Kucinich is RIGHT he is the only for a not-for-profit system, the only one against the corrupt insurance companies!
I like Dennis …
I like Dennis Kucinich, but HR676 is not the answer. It will repeal the 2001 tax cut, add new taxes to middle income families and create a new government bureaucracy. It will NOT include Military Vets or American Indians, but WILL include illegal aliens.

Every other western nation has universal healthcare. It’s about time America catches up the rest of the civilized world.

It’s the sad reality. When will America come to the realisation that the health care systems in Australia, Britain, France and Canada are the solution to their problem of more than 40 million Americans not having health insurance.
