COMMENTARY David W. Greenwald, M.D.: Citizens deserve universal health care Opinion timesleader.com - The Times Leader
A very nicely done speech making the case for single payer. Early on, I thought he was going to advocate for a more "sickness fund" or Bismarckian style system, but then he comes around nicely to advocating "Medicare for All" single payer healthcare.
I especially like the early reference to Jewish Law and its obligation for us to care for the sick. I don't think this is at variance with any major religious or philisophical school of thought. Most religious people seem to accept the obligation, but will insist it rests within the church to meet it, refusing to consider it a societal obligation on ideological grounds.
So, a shout out to to Dr. Greenwald, another Pennsylvanian speaking out for the cause.
