Special commentary by Big Dan: "I think everyone agrees that all Americans should have quality health care at a price that doesn't make them sacrifice other things...like a house or food or medicines. 24x7 coverage from birth to death. No depending on your employer to provide your health care coverage. Stop the co-pays, deductibles, co-insurances, denial of coverage, and all these other health insurance industry schemes."
