Wyden,

Talks about insurance for everyone. A person on minimum wage earning full time 40 hours earning 1344 per month paying 600 for insurance has 744 to pay for transportation to work, food, household utilities and there is no way to mandate someone to pay when they have no money left.


The US spends on avg 7000 per person per year. In Sweden they cover everyone in an excellent system with better results for $3200. There is no way we should spend more money. We must figure out how to get it out of the current systme
