I know this is going to blow your mind, but you should google "NGO". You might learn how "society" helps the poor when the government fails.

Well there you have it. Only thing is, and the last I checked, we still have a democracy. Therefore, it might just be (as in this case) that you are in the minority. More Americans DON'T want a single payer than do. In which case, your only recourse would be to go to some more civilized nation. And don't expect us to "shut the fuck up" any time soon. Sorry. I still have a first amendment (for now) and I will keep using it. I know you and Obama find that inconvenient.
