You just managed to portray in, one cartoon panel,the consequences of a government run by corporate interests.We don't have universal health care in the U.S. and millions die, but everybody in the industry makes good profits and that's more important.
We do have war and millions die, but everybody in the industry makes good profits and that's more important.
Human life, yours, mine, or anyone elses, is of no consequence in the eyes of god, the dollar almighty.
Nice to know where you really stand, isn't it?
That's a really unique Uncle Sam. I like it.
I find it quite hilarious that the same people yelling and screaming about our Health Care system for our Veterans, and how poorly the government runs it, are the same quacks who want government to take over "Universal" Health Care???
Talk about one of your all time double standards.
Amazing, the hypocrisy.
I really like your portrayal of Uncle Sam. He's no longer a tall skinny guy of past decades. He now looks like the rest of us overfed, sedentary Americans that he represents.
there's no hypocrisy here. we just want the christo fascists thrown out and the country returned to its rightful owners - us.
once that happens and we replace corporate malfeasance with honesty and competence i would have no problem with universal health care regulated by the government.
You, sir, are fooling yourself if you think that a D or an R behind the name makes ANY difference...
Honesty and competence in government?
Really? Are you that naive?

Really. Your idiocy has made my day.
A visually stunning piece with excellent contrasting....it's really a "show-stopper" and I just had to send my compliments Jim Borgman. Nicely drawn, you are at the top of your game, for sure.
As someone who just returned to the United States after living in Canada for 7 years, I just have to comment that Universal Healthcare as they have it north of the border is not the Eutopia many make it out to be.
Waiting lists are long for MRI's. The internal systems of hospitals and doctor's office are struggling b/c of lack of funds. Good luck finding a family doctor in many cities, there are just none available. My kids never did have a pediatrician, everything works through the family doctor if you are lucky enough to obtain one.
Canada is in a health crisis and in my opinion it is b/c they refuse to admit their Universal Healthcare system is not working.
I don't know what the answer is for the States, but if what I experienced up there is Universal Healthcare the pros definitely do not outweigh the many many cons.
