In the U.S. there has been a notable change from talking about universal healthcare to expanding insurance coverage during the last thirty years. During our push for a single-payer healthcare system during the 1992 U.S. presidential election cycle and in the first year or two of the Clinton administration (before everyone learned that the Clintons had sold-out that prospect in an agreement with the giant private profit health insurance corporations) the public discussion was about how to get universal "healthcare". Obama administration refused to even pretend to consider single-payer and confined the public discussion to expanding private profit health insurance coverage. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
