Earth to Congress: The current health care system sucks

In case you haven't seen the movie Sicko yet, the current health care system sucks. Insurance companies are evil. 40 million people have nothing. Now fix it!

I don't care how warped your ideology is. I don't care if you're the love child of Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, and Alan Greenspan (blech!). I don't care if you're the editor of the Wall Street Journal, you intern at the Cato Institute, and you work at the Plundermaxx Corporation. Your ideology has already been proven wrong and you are like a muttering homeless person who did too much LSD and you think you're at some free-market Woodstock dystopia.

Give it up. We both know the current system sucks. And Canada has a better one. You know what to do, you don't need me to say it. OK, I'll say it. Single-payer universal health care. I heard McGovern on NPR the other day, he said he could fix the health care system in a single line: Medicare is now extended to all Americans.
