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.<br>
<br>
Anyway, what follows is what I submitted'<br>

<pre>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?
