It's not that one in six Americans don't have health care, it's just that they don't have health insurance. And if 1 out of 6 don't have health insurance that means 5 in 6 people DO have Health Insurance.
Bush and McCain have a national health care plan - The Emergency Room. The way you can see a doctor on BushCare / McCainCare when you have diabetes is when you're in a diabetic coma. And if you have high blood pressure you can see an emergency room physician for primary care immediately - following a stroke or heart attack.
This shows America's wealth. Why go to a physician for a $50 office visit when you can go to an Emergency Room - at 10 times the cost? Or 100 times the cost? You may see it as spending $5,000 - enough for a good used car - or $500, rather then $50, but what's money when your life is at stake? And if the choice is health care, medication, or food, well, you're probably overweight - that's how you got diabetes or high blood pressure anyway (it's really your fault).
And remember, treatment and medication are elements of GNP. So if you have diabetes wait until you're in a diabetic coma. It's your patriotic duty. If you have high blood pressure, wait until you have a stroke. Your treatment will cost $50,000. That adds $50,000 to the GNP. It's what you can do to fight the war on terror. Like voting for the GOP. Pre-emptive care would only add $200 or $1,000 to the GNP. What's more important? Our nation's GNP or your health? It's a no-brainer. If you're a true patriot it's GNP! Especially if you're a wealthy patriot and can afford a doctor. Or can go to Canada for health care. And if a worker drops dead, the general health of the remainder of the population improves.
Remember - what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. And by that logic, America is stronger today than it ever would have been if Gore had been given the White House in 2000 or if Kerry had won in 2004.
