Healthcare is not a political issue. It is a humane issue.
One citizen should not be treated better than another because they can afford better treatment. But that's the American way, isn't it? More money, more benefits.
Here's an interesting audio clip (only 4:11 long). You'll be surprised who is speaking, and his significance to the healthcare issue.

Food is far more important than healthcare. We all need to eat very frequently or we will die, whereas in many cases, disease can take years to kill us off.
If you want a humane issue, shouldn't the state provide food first, even before healthcare?
