Health care, again

[twirlgrrl]

I'm so excited that the national health care discussion is at least on the table again, politically speaking. I watched a Noam Chomsky clip the other day in which he said that it's now politically feasible to discuss it since big corporations are complaining about their bottom line with the uncontrolled increases in health insurance premiums for their employees. He said that the vast majority of Americans (70-80%) have indicated that they were interested or strongly interested in universal health care for decades, and "in a working democracy" that would be reason enough for politicians to address it, but not in this country. :\

Anyway, here is an interesting post in which the OP asks people who live in other countries what their health care experience is like:

I would love to do a version of the same. I've always wanted to be a researcher/sociologist/person who polls other people for a living. Among other things.
