Socialized health care as a job creating program…

A socialized health care system based on the VA (Veteran’s), the Indian Health Service, the National Public Health Service and free community health care clinic models would be a job creating program since it would require some 30,000 community-based health care centers across the United States; thus creating well over 6 million good-paying, decent jobs and those employed would be doing useful, meaningful work... combined with a very vigorous enforcement of affirmative action in hiring this would go a long ways towards alleviating the racist poverty plaguing the inner cities of urban areas and that of Indian Reservations... a racist poverty  that is the result of years of institutionalized racism.

The money for such a socialized health care program can be found by ending these dirty imperialist wars and closing down the more the 800 U.S. military bases on foreign soil... of course, single-payer universal health care would also create many jobs; but, not as many as a full-fledged public health care system providing no-cost health care to the American people.

This is the health care system the American people need and what the American people want:

No-fee/no-premium, comprehensive, all-inclusive, universal national public health care; publicly financed, publicly administered and publicly delivered.

If anyone doubts this is what people want, I suggest the politicians do what is done in a democracy--- hold a fair election providing the American people with ALL options… what could be more democratic?

Create jobs and provide health care at the same time.

Yours in the struggle,
