How to pay for expanded government medical coverage is very simple, government does not pay corporate executives as much as a billion dollars a year, eliminating the overpaid business crook will save enough money to cover millions, if not tens of millions of people. Put price controls on drugs and medical equipment like every free democratic country has, and that will cover just about everyone else, and we will probably save money on the deal. I believe america's drug bill is something like 200 billion dollars, if we paid the same prices canada and europe pays, we would save over 100 billion dollars, that's a huge number of insurance policies!

Not only do other countries cover all their citizens, they also pay much less for it, because we overpay our business crooks for private health care. Let government run our health care system instead of wall $treet, and it will be much better and less expensive.
