Summer 2003
"From the outset, we state our position that we are in favor
of a publicly funded universal health care scheme. We are against profit driven
solutions to the present crisis in health care. Private Health Funds are making
inroads into health care needs with the result we are rapidly approaching the
American system of "user pays" and if you can't pay what happens
then?"
So we see the
struggles of the working class and people everywhere are much the same. No
matter where, bosses and their government never give up in their efforts to
lower living standards.
