Health care law makes coverage fair

The health care system in this country is completely messed up. It was able to get that way because the capitalist system that we have implemented allowed the negative aspects of our human nature to win. It basically allowed us to become animals. But now it's not even us being the animals — it's the machines that we created in our image acting as animals, taking advantage of the people who it was meant to support. I'm sure you know all the specifics on what the new health care will and won't do. But the fact is, we need to collectively protect ourselves from the negative parts of our own humanity, which means regulating health care to be as fair as possible to the masses. We can't create something out of nothing here — we just need to cover some basics.
