Health Care is not a Commodity

As regards health care as simply another commodity for capitalists to use in pursuit of wealth, let me say plainly,

That economic misfortune should not impair access to health care. And yes, there are many people in our society who do not function well--they cannot figure out the complexities of the best health care plan for the dollar. I know and have worked with the impaired, with people who suffer from mental illness and other damages that limit cognitive skills.

Health care is *NOT* the same thing as any other commodity to be bought and sold like grapefruit or toilet paper. And here I will never agree with those who advocate free-market solutions to all social problems. Life itself is not a commodity to be bought, sold, or speculated on by the greedy.

  1. the real frustration to many Americans is other avenues to explore a source of general source financing, I hope you understand that in the example of asset public infrastructure, everyone benefits through ability to implement their business model for success, and its clear, since most people who can not afford health care, generally consume few goods and services in the economy, meaning they can be very much relied on for driving economy through consumption, so the clue is that most of America would rather sponsor their employees through whatever the means they find reasonable, than living with the understanding of having their money taken away by people without work when the plaughed and mined the sweat from pain earning those tax dollars, so i want to know the solutions that you propose
