[Sosfbay-discuss] [Fwd: "A health care solution?"]

[Fred Duperrault]

Although the "Editor" did print two "Letters" in reponse to an April 6 
SF Chronicle editorial, he or she ignored mine that scolded the 
Chronicle and the general media for keeping Single Payer Health Care 
behind an iron curtain.

Anyway, what follows is what I submitted'

Editor - Whoever wrote the "A health care solution"  (SF Chron.,Pg.  B8. 
04/06/06) editorial and the aside,  "...a...'single payer system which 
is politically unfeasible,'" should be plugging single payer health care 
rather than making it seem impossible.

The single payer health care system will  continue to be "politically 
unfeasible" until the mainstream media finds the courage to buck the  
controlling health insurance industry that is the real problem.  The 
media has not realistically informed the public on how the single payer 
health concept works and how it has successfully served other wealthy 
industrialized nations.   The contrast between the universal single 
payer health systems and our prohibitive and inequitable system is dramatic.

Without a proven system that could replace the powerful greed based 
health insurance industry, Massachusetts and California will not 
experience a just and efficient universal system of health care.

When will the Chronicle and other media rightly serve the public by 
unmasking the  dominant, fleecing American health care industry and  by 
assertively informing the public of the single payer system that has 
been proven to be effectual, universal and affordable?
